Juggling Writing
How to Juggle Your Writing With a Real Life! How? That is the number one question I get asked by readers. It comes up when they discover I’m married, I work a full-time job, I do volunteer work, I have friends, family, and responsibilities. They also find out I’m self-published! Which means I also do marketing, author events, publishing, and run my Timothy Trimble business. That’s when I usually have to pull out the smelling salts.

Back to Work
Okay, so it's not Monday, but it feels like it. For the past few years, my life has taken a turn I never wanted (no one ever wants life to take a turn for the worse). Due to a terminal illness of my father-in-law, family drama, a surgery for my husband, and the day-to-day job of a mom, I lost time. Cutting time away from my fiction writing was not an option, as without it I had no real outlet. Refusing to take time away from my family I had to make some big choices. Unfortunately, my freelance writing career was the sacrificial lamb in all of this.

Concerns for Entry-Level Jobs
Entry-level jobs mark beginning of the career for college graduates. Initially, the job options available were limited to a few sectors. The prerequisites for those jobs were limited as well, and a high school education or a degree was sufficient to land a job. Economic conditions that prevailed then were not belligerent as they are now. With the world getting globalized and an augmentation of labor-force across the world, job seekers now face the risk of losing their jobs to someone sitting in a different corner of the world. And to add more problems to their existing concerns, technological advancements have led to the development of machines, which can perform tasks more efficiently, thereby increasing the risk of losing their job to man-made machines.

Fan Fic Review Peeves
I've been writing and reading fan fiction for years. I love it, it gives me a strong nostalgic feeling. I love exploring different territories and a plethora of paths with my favourite characters. Even though they're fictional characters, they feel like your best friends that you grew up with.

20 Sites to Write For
As a writer, there is nothing more satisfying than knowing that a reader is fully invested in my work. The money is nice, but I found feedback from readers a lot more rewarding. To this day, I still consider myself fortunate to have even earned a penny from my writings. I've decided to share 20 websites that I think are good to share and create written work for. I will also be mentioning both paid and unpaid work for this. Vocal.Media will also not feature on this list, but I think I can class it as an honourable mention.

Investing in Property: A Beginner's Help Guide to Avoid Common Mistakes
Location, Location, Location. That's the first quote that springs to mind when most people think of property. Some would argue that it is the single most important factor when house shopping, I'd disagree. Personally, I think every little thing is important, from the window frames to the distance between the two nearest bus stops, to knowing what sort of weeds are growing in the back yard; all factors—both in and outside of the house count as important. That's the advice I give to family and friends; "everything matters" and all things need to be taken into careful consideration with this high-value purchase. Every day, people shop online, in-store, measure length, width and the height of garments, compare and contrasts colors; that's the same meticulous care that should go into arguably the most expensive purchase made in most people's lifetime.
