Will You Be Left Behind?
Please read my new article that I just wrote! http://sharedreviews.com/review/will-you-be-left-behind
Commitment Ensures Success
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
Henry David Thoreau
This quote, when applied, can truly change your life. It is about taking ACTION. Just simply dreaming and imagining your success will not accomplish anything. Of course, most good things in life begin with a dream but until that dream is acted upon nothing can be realized.
For years I have though I would want to become a writer. I have always had a great imagination. I figured that when I "grew up" I would begin writing and get famous for it. What no one told me was that I had to take the footsteps in order to make that happen. Basically, I have learned the hard way.
When I discovered that I was not going to somehow magically become a writer, I went to college. College gave me proper writing instruction but it also taught me perseverance and sacrifice. Without these traits one cannot become a successful writer. I learned that until I took ACTION I could not write, I could not get paid for it.
While I may not have written my bestselling book yet, I have found ways to get paid to write. This gives me the practice that I need and it also gives me more time to write my future bestselling novel. Practice is ACTION. I understand that now. If you read my posthttp://robynwalker.blogspot.com/2011/05/finding-time-to-write.html you will read about a few sites that I actually make real money from every month.
Of course, you cannot just write once and expect to get rich. You need to treat writing like a real job. Get up every morning at 6am and put in your 8 hours of real work. That is the ACTION that it takes. It takes commitment and sometimes sacrifice. Commitment ensures success but it takes ACTION. Are you ready to become a real writer and make real money? Make real money writing.

Who to Write for?
http://www.LondonBrokers.net/?id=164
If you love to write like I do then you need to know how to get paid for it. This is especially important in this economy. I personally have done jobs for just about every company that is out there and very few are actually truly legit.
I am currently writing for several online companies. One of the happens to be the link that I have included at the beginning of this blog post. For native English speakers, this is a great company that pays on time every Thursday night. While all of the assignments are ghost writing assignments, it still allows you to be creative and make money. Plus, it is great experience.
Of course, there are always online companies like Helium, Associated Content, Triad and Shared Reviews. The list could really go on and on. Each of them is a great source of additional income but they do not pay quite as well or as often. I suggest that you try out my link and see if they are right for you. Give them a chance. You may need to write many articles for the first few weeks in order to get into the rhythm but once you do, you will love the paycheck!

My thoughts on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
July 15, 2011 is the day that the last Harry Potter movie will come out. It is a great day but also a sad one. No more midnight showings, no more anticipation wondering if the next movie will be anything like the book. It is really an end of an era.
For me, the Harry Potter series is more than just a book series. Yes, I am a little too obsessed with it but it also allowed my autistic son to enjoy reading. For whatever reason he really connected with the entire series. I think being able to read the books and then see it come to life made reading more real to him. It wasn't just words on paper. It was much more than that.
By the end of kindergarten my son was reading Harry Potter books. It was amazing to me, especially since they are fairly difficult for most children that age. I loved watching him actually connect with the characters. Seeing him show emotion about something was rare. To me, it was almost a miracle.
I think that most autistic children have at least one thing they can connect with. Many times, this will become their obsession. In their world they may not be able to connect or understand most things. I say use what they are interested to encourage them.
My son's reading skills really improved reading this series and that allowed him to read about his other interests. His main interest other than HP is Disney, especially Disneyland. He is a great reader and he researches all the time for his weekly podcast about Disney. I thank the HP series for that.
For now, my younger daughter is beginning to read the series and my I am hopeful that my youngest son will, too. If not, then I will encourage them to read a series that interests them and helps to strengthen their reading skills. For me, reading is important above most other aspects of education. Being a strong reader helps a student in every other aspect of their education. That is just my two cents...

Finding Time to Write
I love to write. This is especially true when I find what I am writing interesting. Unfortunately, a lot of what I get paid to write is not interesting to me at all. In fact, it can become quite tedious. Sometimes I feel like quitting and getting a "real" job. The fact is, these types of assignments actually help me to grow as a writer much more than when I write something that I like. The reason for this is that I have to take my time, proof read more and I also need to do much more research. I find that it helps me to get creative.
If you think that you would like to grow as a writer and also get paid, I suggest to read my blog post http://robynwalker.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-make-money-writing.html. This will explain how I make money weekly. If you are an Native English speaker and writer then this blog is perfect for you.
Another way that I like to make money in between assignments is through a site that I discuss in this post http://robynwalker.blogspot.com/2011/04/great-site-to-make-money-writing.html. This is actually a fun company to write for because you will be writing reviews on anything you want. If you like something, you don't like something, write about it! Its fun.
I have to say that after a few years of writing for online companies, I have narrowed down the best companies to work for. Demand Studios, Triond and Helium are also great to write for. It will get you published online and this will definitely help your resume. If you know of any great companies to write for please let me know by commenting to this post. Thanks!

A Few Great Quotes on the Writing Process
The writer writes in order to teach himself, to understand himself, to satisfy himself; the publishing of his ideas, though it brings gratification, is a curious anticlimax. ~Alfred Kazin, Think, February 1963
The artist's only responsibility is his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one.... If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate: The "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies. ~Faulkner, quoted in M. Cowley, Writers at Work, 1958
"Write without pay until somebody offers to pay." Mark Twain
Writers aren't exactly people.... they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. ~ Ben Franklin
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~ William Wordsworth
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~ Anton Chekhov
What quotes inspire your writing?
Return of the Hatbox Ghost?
Wouldn't it be great if the Haunted Mansion Disneyland California brought back the Hatbox Ghost? Not sure if this is fiscally feasible but Al Lutz has annouced that Tony Baxter is working on this project back in May. He also mentioned that it will be awhile since the budget for this has been used elsewhere. For all hardcore Haunted Mansion fans out there bringing HG back would be epic. The article link below has some great information about HG and is a worthwhile read for anyone not familiar with him.

Daniel Radcliffe Says No to New Book!
It may seem like Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter movies, would love for new HP books to be written to ensure his job security but he is saying no. He has recently been reported texting the book's author J.K. Rowling and asking if the rumor was true if she is indeed writing another book.
The sad news is, she wrote him back and she said no more books will be written about Harry. So sorry HP fans, the answer is no. Apparently Radcliffe is content with her answer and plans to move on to the next phase of his career.

Epilepsy; We Need a Cure
Epilepsy is a terrible disease. I never knew how horrible it was until my son was diagnosed with it at age 4. With so few pediatric neurologists in our area we did not have many to choose from. His first neurologist not only did not help him but she made us feel as though he it was are fault and my son's fault. He was having two seizures every minute at times. His life was put on hold. So was ours.
We fought a long battle and because of my husbands endless insistence he now is being treated at Loma Linda Hospital and getting great care. Unfortunately, the great neurologist that he has been seeing there has moved out of state so we are back to searching for a replacement.
While my son is not cured, he is now on medication that is somewhat controlling the seizures. The worst part is dealing the affects that the seizures have had on his frontal lobe. He has severe behavioral problems and lost most of his fine and gross motor skills. Being in kindergarten, this has made his life very difficult.
Epilepsy affects more people in America then cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's put together. Every day about 500 people are newly diagnosed. Severe cases can lead to brain damage and learning delays. People with epilepsy are more depressed than others and have a two thirds higher death rate. These facts are not only alarming, they are calling out for more research and also for a cure.
Research for epilepsy is very under funded. Much more federal money is spent researching other diseases that have fewer people affected by then. I say it is time put things in perspective. We need more neurologists, more funding and more research. We need a cure.

Inner Writer Overcome By Circumstances is Now Transcending
While this title may not make sense it speaks volumes about this last year. I have been doing freelance work as a ghost writer that did not allow me to become published and it gave someone else the credit. I cannot say that it has not been worth it because I have been making money but my inner writer is screaming.
I do not want the recognition for my writing for fame or notoriety but mainly so I feel validated. It is nice to see my writing published. It is also nice for others to read it once and awhile.
I am still going to do more freelance ghost writer so I can make money for my family and also so I can hopefully get the experience I need before I sit down and write my first novel. I plan on starting that project in August. In the meantime, I will do what I have to but I will also take a few moments during each day to update my blog and some social writing sites to keep up my resume.
Until I become a successful fiction writer I will be learning from current and past circumstances. I also hope you will follow me in this journey...
