You are absolutely right, Evelyn. Sorry about that. I tend to overanalyze everything and lost sight of the importance of goals and dreams in general. Not everything needs to be examined so closely. I know you'll meet your goal no matter how it's stated so I should've kept my mouth shut.
After about 8 months and 91 articles (I really should write more here), I just sold the very first article I wrote here! Actually, I think I joined here in Nov. of last year and only submitted that one as a "test article." It was about 3 months later before I came back and began submitting more regularly. So...that article had been on my profile for close to a year and was receiving next to no views...what a great surprise!
