How to write an entry when you out of idea

I don't have enough sleep. I force my self to update as many blogs as I can. Seriously I can't properly think. My brain seems not working. It can't generate brilliant sentence for me to start my paragraph.

I'm out of cigarette and I don't want to buy any. I want to quit, for the 1000th time. That's one of the main reason why my brain is not functioning well. But I force my self, I keep typing. I try very hard to publish an entry for this blog tonight.

I need another paragraph, then it will be good enough for a blog post. I push my self, I open up my eyes. I try to breath slowly (like the yoga class). I think, I had enough. It won't go any further. I have to sleep. I'll write again tomorrow.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Couple days ago, I just Sign up for SocialSpark, a place for bloggers to grab publishing job. Honestly, blog is a good place for us to express opinion and share our experience, while some bloggers express their feeling through writing.

Children’s Books

I am happy now with blogging. I can feel the satisfaction and excitement when I wrote. I can express my ideas and release the tense in my head through writing. But, still I didn’t make my day as a book writer yet. Hopefully I can get the chance soon.

Besides writing, I have talent in drawing and painting. This give me ideas to write books for children. Those colorful books with illustrations make me admire to produce my own children books for homeschooling.

I love kids and I believe most parents do have the same feelings. Before our children entering school, they spend most of the day at home. As parents, we have to give as many inputs as possible to make them mature enough for real world. That’s why we need quality books for them for home schooling.

In US, there are millions of children from different color grown up and settled down here. What is lack is input for them to know their origin and roots. This is why they need for African American children's books and Asian American children's books.

I wish I can contribute to them and write my own children’s books. When I've written my own book, I will definitely looking for publisher. Every children will get the benefit from my books. Gosh, I wish it is real.

I still have the dream and I will make it comes true.

Infolinks : my second application approved

I was at the hospital Muar for the whole day today as my wife warded for stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhoea. Her due is on 2nd November 2009, which is another month. I'm really tired as I still didn't sleep last night when early this morning, she told me about the pain. Then, quickly we rushed to Sg. Mati Health Centre. The doctor said, she have to go to Muar Hospital. This is the 'crazy' part as I have to follow behind the speeding ambulance with siren! ..Ouch, that's very weird experience to me.

At Muar Hospital, I have to wait for the medical team doing detail check up on her. Finally, the doctor said she have to stay at the ward with water drip. Her white cell blood got infections. So she have to spend overnight at the hospital until further notice.

End of episode one.

When I'm home, my laptop is the first thing that I grabbed. Quickly I go through all emails and check for ebay orders and payments. Among the emails, there is one that really make me happy : Infolinks just approved my account! Previously, I already put the html code into one of my blog before they let me know either the application is qualify or not.

Ashley Qualls, 17, has built a million-dollar web site

Hi,

I read about her couple months ago but because my hectic life (but still did't make as much as her), just ignore (and totally forgot) about her website and what she have done to generate bunches of money thru internet..
Now she can earn $70,000 monthly and lots of company interested of buying her page worth $1.5 million!.... and she just 17!

Here are some info about her from wikipedia, "

Ashley Qualls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Ashley Qualls (born July 1990) is an entrepreneur from Detroit, Michigan. Originally as a hobby, in 2004 at age 14, she started a website called whateverlife.com, designed to provide free Myspace layouts and HTML tutorials for people in her age demographic, and supported entirely by advertising revenue . The website receives several times more traffic than circulations for popular teen magazines Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and CosmoGirl! combined.

In September 2006 she paid cash for a $250,000 home in a fenced-off subdivision in the community of Southgate, a couple of blocks removed from Dix Highway. She lives there with her mother Linda LaBreque (42), younger sister Shelby (°1999); as well as three cats, two turtles, a rottweiler, a hamster, and a fish. On September 5, 2007, she obtained legal emancipation, giving her the same legal status as adults.

The basement of the home is her office. In addition to employing her mother she employs friends from school. Bre Newby is her right hand lady; and other employees include Shayna Bone and Jen Carey.

Biography

Qualls had no connections nor formal training. No business professionals in the family. No rich aunt or uncle. In the working-class community of downriver Detroit, south of downtown and the sprawling Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan, she bounced back and forth between her divorced parents, neither of whom attended college. Her father is a machinist. Her mother was a retail data collector for ACNielsen; she now works for her daughter for $500 a week. It was Linda who gave Qualls the initial investment: $8 to register the domain name. Ashley still hasn’t spent a dime on advertising.

In January 2006, a few months after that first payday and six months before her 16th birthday, she withdrew from school. Instead of taking AP English, French, and Algebra II, instead of being a straight-A sophomore at Lincoln Park High School, Ashley stayed home to nurture her budding business and take classes through an online high school. “Everybody was shocked,” she says. “They asked, “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?’ But I had this crazy opportunity to do something different.”

Running a growing company without an MBA, not to mention a high-school diploma, is hard enough, but Ashley confronts another extraordinary complication. Business associates may forget that she is 17, but Detroit’s Wayne County Probate Court has not. She’s a minor with considerable assets–”business affairs that may be jeopardized,” the law reads–that need protection in light of the rift her sudden success has caused in an already fractious family. In January, a probate judge ruled that neither Ashley nor her parents could adequately manage her finances. Until she turns 18 in June 2008, court-appointed conservator Alan May is controlling Whateverlife’s assets; Ashley must request funds for any expense outside the agreed-upon monthly budget. [4].

According to Steve Greenberg (former president of Columbia Records and now the head of indie label S-Curve Records) Qualls' website and musical widget is credited with launching the success of Jonas Brothers and Lily Allen is the US.

This teenage girl in the Midwest got more views for our video than YouTube” says Greenberg, 46. “It wasn’t even close.” The viral campaign encouraged fans to vote for the band on MTV’s Total Request Live, and the group’s song “Mandy” hit No. 4, unheard of without radio play.



So... when is our turn to make the fortune?

Still can't believe that we can make money from net?
