In 1976, I graduated from the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida USA with a BBA in Accounting and began my career as a bean counter. Worked at it for decades and then one day, the wind blew me in a different direction. These days I busy myself with multiple home business endeavors. One of these endeavors involves writing for Wizzley.com.

Signed up in 2012 and suffered a severe case of writer's block as soon as I realized there was a requirement to prove myself by having five articles undergo a thorough review and approval process by humans. Did I say “writer's block”? Not it wasn't. It was full blown panic! FIVE ARTICLES??!!! A human review??!! No way! So I ran away!

Several months later, I mustered up the courage to come back. In May 2013 my first Wizzle was accepted and published. It wasn't painful at all.

So here I am … 30 pages later as of November 2013; and they haven't banned me yet! :)

It All Began When ...

Whenever I write about how my freelance writing efforts got started, Suite101.com receives my thanks and appreciation for approving and publishing my first article which was about Angel Mae Taylor, a singer/songwriter, who at the time was a blossoming new talent who had been featured as one of VH1's You Oughtta Know: Artists On The Rise in 2010.  The article was published February 2011:  Indie Artist Profile:  Angel Taylor. It was an incredible feeling to see my face, my name, and my thoughts deemed worthy enough to appear online!!!  The site underwent some changes and the article is no longer published.  No biggie!  Already bitten by the "self-confidence bug". :)

From that point, there was no turning back.  It's been an amazing journey, discovering (and still discovering) various online writing sites, submitting my content, undergoing the review process, and finally receiving publication approval.  You think a person would get used to it, but each time I hold my breath and hit the "publish button".  In my mind, I'm going:  'Please accept it!  Please accept it!  Please!  Please!  Please!'  When that message comes back saying "Congratulations!  Your article is now online.", it's like "YES!!"  Time for the happy dance in my chair!!

You do not understand.  For years, my significant other has been asking "Why can't I find some way to work from home and earn money online?"  Most of the writing sites either charged a fee or wanted experienced writers.  But now, several sites can be found that take newbie writers and have free sign up.

Wizzley is one of those sites and one of the better sites, I might add.

True there is a 5 article requirement to get started.  But that's OK.  Because once you're over that hurdle, the door opens wide.  The community is friendly and supportive, the forum is excellent, the management and staff take care to constantly improve and enhance the site's tools and to increase your income earning potential, and writing here is just plain fun!

Don't take my word for it!  Read some of the other Wizzographies.

My Best Wizzles So Far, According to the Stats Gift Giving: Paperweights or Precious Objets d'Art?
Paperweights make perfect gifts! Seldom are they ever re-gifted and some are collectibles. History shows that these decorative objets d'art were stored away as treasure. Impressionist Painters
A brief introduction to artists who made such a lasting impression, reproductions of their original works adorn many homes and offices. The Olive Tree
Lemon tree very pretty. Olive tree very pretty too! In fact, the olive tree has always had a significant role in much of the history of mankind.

These Are My Favorite Wizzles, According to Me Are You a Renaissance Man?
A Renaissance man (or woman) has wide knowledge in many fields. Based on that definition you should be able to objectively answer the question: Are You a Renaissance Man? Harp Music: Sacred, Classical, Jazz or Gospel?
The American music audience no longer insist that the harp is just for classical music thanks to breakthrough artists like jazz/gospel harpist Jeff Majors. Vietnamese-American Artists
Shining the spotlight on some amazing Vietnamese-American artists.

These Wizzles Should Be in Both Columns Trees Deserve Respect
Who cares if Pluto is or is not a planet? There are no trees there. Trees are the reason nobody wants to relocate to anywhere else in the universe. Training Children To Become Entrepreneurs
At what age should one begin to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in children? Matthew and Adam Toren believe it's never too early.

Samples of My Writing ( in case you want to hire me to write )

When I'm not writing articles for publication here at Wizzley, I publish multiple blogs (posts feed shared below) and am active in other social blogging or online writing communities (see below). They don't really focus on a specific topic. They are (as I hope the names imply) me expressing myself and/or sharing my thoughts.

Freelance writing isn't my only home based business project. If you want to know more details about my WAHM or mompreneur jobs, I can now officially say "Just Google me!" The Google Team supplied with me a vanity url, so now people can locate my Google Plus profile by my real name and not that long number that nobody can ever remember.
