So I've been here a little over a year and I've learned a ton about writing in that time frame. I've even started branching our writing other things aside from blogs and I think I've really found my passion. When I started here last year I knew very little about how to write like a true professional. I've bought a lot of books and went through some courses since then and feel like I learned some things I can pass on to help some new writers out. Let me just say that I am FAR from an expert writ

They also gave me the blog post from my site which allegedly violated the rules. I was both surprised and angry because I had taken the time before using their program to make sure I understood their rules as many on here have cautioned about

The last few weeks, I have experienced a fair deal of frustration when it comes the quality of comments that I have been receiving on my site from Wealth Affiliate members. I have read several posts from others regarding similar frustrations so I know that I am not the only one feeling this way.
