So I decided to open a blog....

I am new to this whole blogging thing. Don't get me wrong. I am not new to writing. It is the blogging thing that has me confused.

So here is the start of a new adventure. I have been writing on Hubpages for awhile now. Almost two full years. I don't know if that qualifies me as a writer. If not, well I have proof. I used to be in the military and I wrote then for real money. Ok - I also exercised for real money too. I was a soldier. But writing was my job. Now it is a hobby with hopes of making money.

So I was contemplating whether or not I should set up a blog. I was weighing the decision very heavily for the past couple weeks as Hubpages decided to introduce "Sleeper" hubs. The Sleeper Hubs didn't bother me. What bothered me is suddenly I had to jump through hoops just to link to these hubs and get traffic to them. So, I figured if I had my own blog, I was the only one that could tell my writing to sleep. And why would I do that. I want to get my writing out there. I want it to be seen and most importantly I wanted it to be read.

Then comes the hefty decision. Where do I go? The two main platforms being Blogger and Wordpress, I was torn. I have a hard time making decisions. However, Blogger won out. Why? Because I want to make a few pennies and I didn't have that option at Wordpress.

So here I am. Crazy as it may seem I have decided to start a blog.
