What am I doing?

It is so easy to slip into a pattern of stagnancy and immobility. It's so easy to just drift through life with each passing day feeling just like the one before it. I have been forcing myself to make an intentional mark on each day of my life. It is my goal to create and be productive daily. In the past couple of days I've just been tired--completely exhausted.

I guess this bit of writing is something. Really, with two children to chase, everyday I achieve something. But, as rewarding as child-rearing can be, it isn't the same as taking a moment to think and create. This is just my thoughts streamed onto the screen. I bet none of this even makes any sense.

I'm having fun with Associated Content. It's nice to get those little upfront PayPal payments and to watch my pageviews. This is kind of a breakthrough for me, because I've always hated writing. With AC I've just been writing about what is interesting to me, like my new geeky phone. I'm really enjoying it.

One cool thing about writing for AC is that once I submitted my first article, I got an email saying I would get a $10 bonus if I publish five articles by the 15th. That was a great incentive to get writing and I think I'll make it.

Yay Obama! I'm so excited about our new president.
