February I will try to spend at least 5 days a week writing something. I need to set a goal for this month. Something that I can expect myself to fulfill. I don't want to set my goal to high though. I guess just go from what I done last month. Though I don't exactly know what I should set them at. I only wrote for 10 days last month. I will start small this month so I don't feel bad at the start if I don't reach my goal.
Page Views = 1500
I choose 1500 because I obtained almost 700 in 10 days. I think 1500 should be obtainable goal to reach with full 28 days at hand.
Articles = 40
I have 20 now. 40 shouldn't be so hard to get. With 28 days to write, that would amount to 1 a day for 20 days, with 8 days of not writing. 8 days to not write is cake. I might even write on the off days, to see if I can surpass my goal.
Goals are set. Lets see how well I fair.

January's End
Well the month of January is over. I have been writing since my birthday, which was on the 21st. I managed to pull in 689 page views on my articles. That makes my estimated performance balance at around $1.03. Not bad if I don't say so myself. Only 10 days of writing and roughly around maybe 4 hours of research and writing was put into them.
I didn't really have a goal set for the month of January, I kind of just jumped back into writing without setting any goals for the month. Plus the month was about over anyways. I did manage to get 3 new fans. Doesn't make much of a difference, but it still helps knowing people want to continue to read my work.
My clout level reach 60% into the next rank, still sitting at rank 4. I need 2175 more page views to get to the next rank, based on page views alone. I also get a bonus of 1% per article that I produce. While this helps some, its not helping as much as I would like it to, but I don't have that many articles published yet. I do have 20 articles at the moment, so my bonus should be at 20%, which is not all that bad.
I will be setting goals for February. I will post them later on today odds are.

Getting the Ball Rolling
I got up around 8 in the morning today. Did my normal routine of checking out all of my things, mail, digg, associated content, and etc...
I put did some research and figured out an article I wanted to write. This one was about the weather and the storm of the century that is on poise to strike the United States hard the next few days. The weather has been a pain this year and with January ending it seems like it wants to go out with a bang for the month.
If you live in Kentucky you should be safe from the storm as I reported here. Most of the storm will pass right above Kentucky.
I hope to pump out 2-3 more stories today as the day progresses. Trying to get my article numbers up is harder then I thought it would be. It would be easy to pump out meaningless articles with no depth about them, but that is not the kind of writer I am.

LEX18 Jobs Incorrect Search Results
I am former Chef in the U.S Army. Upon looking for Food Service related jobs on the new LEX18 Jobs site. I was appalled at the search results I got back when just searching for "food".
Even when refining the search to "food service", I still got around the same results. I don't see how a few of those jobs even came up as food. I wanted to see if it's searches were based on keywords, phrases or just matches the letters. Turns out it just matches the letters typed and returns any match.
I typed in "sex offender" and got back a result of 9 pages of jobs. I don't think this is a job title nor should it return any results. It's new and needs refining. This is not an attempt to downgrade them nor make LEX 18 News Team look bad. Just something I happened to find.
Income Low with Spirits on the Rise
In about a week I am at around $0.85. Not bad considering it didn't take me long to write the articles. I did the research on them, but that was during my normal scouring the web on the daily.
Still haven't picked up any DIGGs on my work yet. I had an impressive two days with an this article about Random Drug Testing for People on Public Assistance. Getting 309 views in just 2 days. My most impressive work yet.
The only article I have as of right now that beats it is my Where to Donate Christmas Toys in Lexington, Kentucky article. With a total of 1591 views.

Putting in Work
I did three articles today. Kinda of proud of that one. It seems like ideas are flowing better now then before. I knew I was full of information, I just needed a place to put it all!
Things ate home are going well, no complaints. Putting in work here as well cleaning and doing laundry. Taking care of a baby turns out to be some hard work to. Trying to keep a baby happy can get hard at times. They can't express things they want. Makes it hard for a person like me to deal with it, but hey, I do what I can.
