Hello!

My name is Sissy Lyons. I am a 36 year old mother of 3 who has been essentially unemployed for the past 12 months. Luckily I have the DH to handle most of the bills but our family has really taken a loss since I got laid off.  I have looked into several work from home jobs over the months and found a lot of scams, and a lot of paying things to do that take forever.  Not what I am looking for. I need to be able to make a somewhat predictable amount of money each month.  Lately I have been reading blogs and advice from several freelance writers and visiting freelance writer websites. I have decided to give it a try. This is my first blog, and I am at this moment, still unemployed, but as soon as I finish this post, that will change.

I am going to sign up at a paying freelance writing site that I found through the Freelance Writer Online site. I emailed the owner of the site a few weeks ago with hundreds of questions and she has been very helpful by emailing me and giving me her recommendations and advice. She even sent me a free copy of her e-book to help me get started. She said that she was willing to do that because she knows that freelance writing is not a scam and that I will be able to make money if I follow the steps outlined in her book. If there is anyone reading this who needs some information about becoming a freelance writer be sure to visit www.freelancewriteronline.info it's a great site.

So welcome to my blog, I hope you'll follow along as I see if I can make it as a freelance writer.
