The Struggling Blogger

After being outvoted by Iron Man, we’re back at the cinema after a week. I was almost outvoted again by Speed Racer, but this time I imposed my authority on my children. Finally, I was able to watch The Forbidden Kingdom.

If it weren’t for my kids, I won’t recognize Jacky Chan as the old chap from the Chinese store. But I recognized the plot of the boy from New York (Jason played by Michael Angarano), beaten up by bullies, but in the end would be able to get back and kick their ass. Though I don’t understand how he was chosen to be the seeker who will save the Monkey King. There wasn’t enough development in his character. Too much rush to get into the action scenes I guess. I’m not complaining. I came for Jacky Chan.

I can’t even say if this is an original or I just heard it from somewhere… I can’t remember. But I think we all know what this means. An addiction to blogging. I don’t know which is more intense, obsession or addiction… or they could be just play of words and could actually mean the same.

Blogus addictus, trying to sound scientific, can either be a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb. It tells a state, an action, or a condition of a blogger wherein even before finishing his current post is already thinking of his next post.

Much more than just creating numerous posts, but the act of posting itself that drives a blogus addictus. And whenever he is not in front of his computer typing, he is either scribbling on a notebook or a piece of paper… or he maybe just seated in a corner, silently playing in his mind the words that he will write on his project.

Just like an itch… it won’t subside unless it got itched.

Is it curable? Definitely, it is!

But does a person with blogus addictus wants to be cured?

Since I have already announced my intentions and shifted to high gear, I now feel more pressure as a blogger. Although this is just self-imposed, I know I have to meet some expectations… and I still have a looooong way to go. I still have a lot to learn. From a $0.00 earner… I need to climb to $1.00, and then to $10.00 and then to $100.00… up to $1,000.00 and then… ooops! Sorry, I got carried away. But like I said, it is still a long shot for me. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start!

Fortunately, blogging resources are not scarce in the internet. Because bloggers who earn money from blogging, blog about earning money from blogging. Thanks to a newly found blogging acquaintance who referred me to a great site for newbie bloggers like me.

To high speed that is!

Since I’m looking to blogging now as a career, and as I’ve said before… I’m really making a conscious effort to earn from it.

It may be a long shot… but others did it, why can’t I?

So I’m reading at other blogs, learning a thing or two. Something that I never did before.

I’m also looking for lots of materials to blog about. I’ve even created other blogs to cater to different ‘niche’.
