Make It Work

I don't have a lot of qualifications when it comes to education and workI haven't studied beyond high schoolI didn't attend college or university I don't have any specialists skills I have worked in a lot of different jobsSo I guess I do have some experienceNot a lot But some While most people I know were going to collegeTravellingAcquiring new skills I was in the midst of a horrific drug addictionAnd following thatAnorexia and bulimia In a strange way I have mastered in those subjects They are topics that I know intimately I lived them Breathed themAte them And slept them for over ten yearsI could write essays Thesis after thesis on these subjects And in a way I guess I do that everyday In writing this blog 
As you know I write everyday I write everyday for a few reasons I like to constantly have something new to write about I do it at the same time everyday So it gives my day structure and formIt's some thing that keeps me accountable and honest As well as that I love writing And am always thinking about new topics to write about I dont always write about addiction and EDsI write personal posts I do photo postsI review documentaries, books and TV shows I write about anything that interests meAnd that I think will appeal to my readers
I often get asked to contribute to a website or guest post on a blogAt the moment I have three writing pieces In the works Which is really exciting As I have often said I am blown away by what can happen if you put yourself out thereIf you are willing to share your story In an honest and vulnerable wayWriting my blog is a huge part of my life And I don't hold backI share practically every part of my life hereIn the hope that someone else feels the sameOr that someone else might not feel so alone It still blows my mind When I look at my stats and see people reading from Russia, Lebanon, Norway, ChinaI only know very few of you who read this blogAnd of course there are the core readers and writersWho form the back bone of this community And who I call my best friends 
My sister is always telling me that I should monetise my blogEither by showing ads Or writing an E bookOr publishing a book myself There is no doubt That I have enough material for bookI have written 942 posts over three years Every moment over that time has been documented From my illness to recovery Every slip and relapse Every success and triumphTo read back on it is so amazing As as I soon as I have written a post I delete it from my mind So rereading itIs like reading it for the first timeI really don't want to include ads in my blogAs I think they disrupt the flow of a blog But I would love to write a bookOr fashion my blog in to a bookThat would be a dream come true Addiction and EDs are subjects that I knowI lived themAnd in a lot of ways still live them
I just have this feeling deep downThat my blog And my experiences Are going to be a huge part of my lifeAnd my work life And what you believe you create right?
With all that said I was wondering about youWhy do you write?Would you like to make it your career?Have you ever been published?Would you like to be published?Inquiring minds want to know....
