One week in so far.

Well, I made it to Lesson 10. Making progress. I learned to take it slow to avoid burnout. I also have been taking numerous breaks. This has been helpful. Going over lessons, looking for helpful hints has been very easy here as others have had similar questions.

The niche I am working on is Home Defense. Ways to improve your home to prevent break ins and so on.

The last two days, I was struggling with an article. I thought I bit off too much but I persisted. I had over 10 revisions and lost work this morning somehow as the WA content creator couldn't save and I refreshed. Lost an hour or so of work. Normally, I would have gave up for a while and went back to bed, but I persisted. I am proud of that.

Personal lessons learned.

1. Organize my content ideas.

2. Do things in passes. Write down content. Then go back in and add pictures, and work on editing. It streamlines the process.

3. Save often. Don't rely on the auto-save feature.

I am a wannabe fiction writer so I have many tools on hand to help with writing should I need it.

My current plans is to see if I can actually get income from this. I am 48 years old and my old jobs didn't pay well for the work and stress. This looks like a good way to chip away at getting some income that can scale up. Eventually.

In all, I am very happy I discovered WA.
