New to CC, new to writing for actual money

Post by abnichols »

Hi Writers, Editors and everyone else at CC. I am a new writer and new to CC. I live in Maine and work as a registered nurse to make sure my bills are paid. I like to write about animals, kids, parenting, science, health, travel, and many other things I probably have not thought of yet. I also have a humor blog that I am currently neglecting, and I like to write fiction. I am married and have two sons. My husband and I like to to hike, mountain bike, sea kayak, listen to music, read, cook...Glad to be here and excited to start writing. Thanks!

Hello! Looks like you have quite the arsenal of things to write about. :) Just do yourself a favor, and when you get the idea for an article WRITE IT DOWN as soon as possible I can't tell you how many article ideas have come and gone in my head.) Small notebooks in your purse may help, but seeing as you're a nurse you may just have to get creative, lol. No writing on patients though, no matter how deeply asleep they are. Unless they're in a coma and you're certain you can clean the pen scribbles off before they wake up. ;p

Good luck!

Thank you for your replies!
Judith, you are smart to be down in Florida right now. It's really cold and white here. I am on the coast near Bar Harbor.
VersantScribe, no, nothing about patients. Although I have to say there are times.... :? I actually keep a little voice recorder with me most of the time, so that helps. Unless I mumble and can't understand myself later; the auditory equivalent of not being able to read your own writing. So far have had two articles accepted, so I am happy about that. Back to work!
