"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that."
--Stephen King
I read baby gerl's @ExpertWritter article on how she started to become a writer, click here for the said article, and he ends it with a question and I comment that I will just write an article to answer the question.
Before I was just a plain reader and supporter here, I wrote like one or two articles per month. When it was still the point system and the person that invited me to this platform was the only one who could give me upvotes.
And same as other old users here I am actually happy that my article will receive a $0.01 tip. I was so confused with the system before like literally confuse when the others got 200pts and it will be converted to such amounts.
So I made a hiatus in this platform and just came back recently because a friend told me to come back.
I came back not because the system change and the users got higher tips. After much consideration (lol!) I came back writing nonsense stuff to let out all the frustrations within me.
As many of us experience here, we all go through dark times in our lives, I've been through the worst of me last year. I blame myself over useless things, I neglected and ignored the people who truly care for me and it made e realize how a fool I am and that's when I came back to write and focus on writing instead of thinking those thoughts from the past.
Honestly, it made me angry, not at other people, but to myself on why I was so overpowered by negative thoughts that I rather run and run from it. It's a good thing a friend advised me to avert my attention to other things, that's when I thought of Read.Cash. I'm a little hesitant at first since I am not good at words and I don't know how to write even a single paragraph.
At first, I just said, "Okay, let's write and write nonsense stuff, and let the river flow where it goes". So I made an article little by little. Got some commenters unexpectedly. And then my babies reconnect with me and it lifts my mood a little.
(they know who they are already)
Days passed and I get to adapt here, I get to read other user's articles, other users get to read my articles and it really warms my heart. You know being able to have the honor that other people get to read your articles and got tips from them. I get to learn some tips on how to write although I am still in the process of learning, still I am grateful that my writing improves a little.
From making an article with just one or two paragraphs into writing more and more and with some pictures with it.
"Tears are words that need to be written."
--Paulo Coelho
I write mostly about life, my life to be exact, my experiences, and also about my son and me being a single mom and working away from my family.
Instead of crying in the corner and kept on saying I miss home. I just open read cash and noise cash and read some articles and interacts with other users.
Day by day these two platforms keep on having upgrades that make it more fun for most users here.
I also got these bunch of sponsors, I made some friends and sponsors at the same time, and I am always grateful to them...so thankful to your guys...Lovelotzzzzz
Nowadays, I can't help but wonder how I came to this point and day, still smiling, I never quite imagine that I get the chance to smile and laugh with others, exchanging ideas from random people.
Before I was a loner but ever since I came back and write again I became a new person, whose hopes for a new day, excited and exhausted sometimes when I can't think of something to write each day.
There will still be days, where I get to be demotivated especially when work really gets the whole mess in me. And when my longingness at home becomes unbearable. I sometimes stretch or vent my loneliness through writing and it made me feel lightheaded after.
I got this notification just earlier when I open my Read Cash and it made me happy, imagine having such counts of views. Those articles of mine are just more personal or like my journal but I am happy that people are reading it. Not sure if they enjoyed it though lol!
Now, I am really happy coming back to this site, and I am hoping that I get to came back and became happy and forgets my burden most of the time.
That's it, I need to sleep early because I will have my first dose of vaccination tomorrow. I'm quite nervous though but I know I can overcome this . Fighting!!!!
Thank you for reading.
Keep safe and God Bless!
Fin!
I'm glad that you were able to discover yourself through writing and you've become better with time. I on the other hand am without talent and I dont know when I'd finally be able to break out of my shell. Have you got any advise for me?
