Question to the Money-Making Writer Blogs

Writer Blogs who make Money,

can anyone tell a bit about their own experiences concerning creating your own blogs and making money with your (original) stories?

I was thinking since forever creating one, but I'm far too insecure to, so I'm trying to weigh my options (I've searched the net for the pros and cons, except for tumblr).

So, if anyone has any experience, would you guys be willing to share?

Thanks for reading this! Have a nice day!

The wildest thing that ever happened to me in publishing was when I was attending a data collection training run by a very nice German woman. I was in children’s publishing so I brought up questions about children’s books for her to answer/demonstrate the tool with.

Off of this, she then decides to tell this room full of American adults a very simple joke a child she knows had recently told her (along the lines of “how do you make a tissue dance”/“why was 6 afraid of 7” variety). We all politely chuckled and her eyes lit up like she had just discovered a million dollar idea.

“You know,” she says, “kids really have such funny jokes! Someone should write them down in a book! A book of jokes from children!” She looked around that room of publishing professionals SO pleased with herself and we all had to try to find a way to tell her that the child probably found the joke in a joke book already, and that joke books, were- in fact- a thing.

Which really leads me to wonder… was this woman just incredibly out of touch? (Very possible) OR do Germans not have joke books??????????

Reflection of Figures on Small Bridge, Arne Halvorsen, flickr I have been bragging about how I have been submitting to journals the last couple of weeks. But then again, I’m experiencing how hard it is to submit to journals for any length of time and pursue it conscientiously. I used to send stories out scattershot, more or less, not because I wanted to waste anyone’s time, but because I really…
