It is my new website where I plan to house all of the work that I publish online.

This blog that you are currently on was set up as a temporary home for my 100 Hub Challenge and I never really gave much thought to what would happen after that ended.

However, it seems that the writing bug has caught me.

I am not only thoroughly enjoying writing, and learning all about it, but the bonus of it starting to earn me money (as I had always secretly hoped) is also happening. So this is a win win for me!

So what does this mean?  Well it means that I have registered a domain name and set up 'shop'.  I have my first official home which will be the central point to all the articles I write and publish online.

If you would like to join me and follow my journey please visit me at Life's Write Now.
