Two polls...

1)  Am considering quitting my day job and become a writer.    Good move, or bad move?
           What other Idol topics would you like to see covered?  What other non-Idol topics interest you?

2)  Am considering putting up audio only of my audition pieces.  How do y'all feel about that?  You've shared so much with me, I really want to share more with you!

  1. Maria, the link that follows is blogspots directions for adding a poll to your blog. I think it would be a good idea for you. I'm glad you're writing more. Now I'll tackle your recap post.

  3. Have enjoyed reading the blog, but as someone who is trained to be and has tried to be a professional writer full-time, I would advise against it. Monetizing a blog is particularly difficult, and unless you have a degree in journalism or a similar study and pertinent experience, being hired as a full-time writer is no easy task! Also, I know you write your posts off-hand, but many of them have spelling, grammar and usage mistakes. I would correct those issues (including in this post - 'become' should be a gerund) before using your blog as a portfolio of writing work.

    Blog as a hobby, but not as a profession. Most of the writers I know, myself included, have "day jobs" and write when we can, for free or for very little money. Good luck!
