Hi everyone,

I dont know where this is going yet so i will just put my thoughts down and see where it leads me.

Today was my first day back after a few days away from any activity and i was itching to get back to it. Prior engagements meant that i would only get time to look in and see what you good people are putting up in the forums and what blogs were being posted.

So I have had some catching up to do. Firstly i want to say that although i was away a few days and itching to get back to it, i think it done me good as a step back and take that deep breathe of air. Slowed me right down and made me think about my approach. As i said in previous blogs that i was feeling overwhelmed and slightly scared of doing something that would make me look foolish and stupid.

Today with the catching up i just got straight on and done it. I did not flounder with anything. Yes there are some things that i struggled to understand but i never stressed with it. I just fell into that mode where we are told to check out the forums or backtrack on the knowledge you have received just incase we miss something. The forums are a gold mine and yes i had to retrace my steps from past tutorials. Yes there is a lot of information to take in but it is alsways there if i need to look it up.

Taking notes....hmmmm where do i start with this.. no really... where do i start? because there is a lot of information to take in and if i have one criticism ( Sorry kyle and Carson) is that i am sent from one end of the site to another in a very short space of time. Dont get me wrong, the content is fantastic but it is the little avenues i am sent to during a tutorial. before i know it i am knee deep in windows opened on my desktop. The only way to describe it is taking four bus routes before you get to where you are going to. I would appreciate a guiding hand on this if someone would care to show me the way. I know there is a system on here that shows you a way on note taking and i read it. It was very impressive . I cant remember the person who done that tutorial. I never took notes :( . I am not stressing over this but guidance would be greatly received. In fact that tutorial about note taking would be good in a video tutorial. It would be great to see it in the flesh so to speak.

Anyway i have completed my 1st article on street articles. It is not perfect but it is a start. It is just a case of taking action. If you don't take action then how can you make mistakes. Making mistakes is a key ingredient to taking a step forward. Nobody is perfect and i certainly do not come close to it but i am going to make a real good go at perfecting the skills offered to me on here. By the way while i think on. My article is pending. How long is it usually in pending stage?

I did say in an earlier blog that i am now treating this more like a training course. That is the best decision i have made to date. For everyone just coming into this as i have, treat it like a passion and a thirst for knowledge, Know your limits.Read,read and read again until it sinks in. There is no first past the post . We have made the leap and now just keep the faith. Action will bring results. Oh and another thing i would just like to say aboutt this. I had never done anything like websites or blogs before i came to WA and i never had a clue how to get one started. I have one now which is a biggie to me. There is not much on it but i have already got someone leave a comment and likes the site and bookmarked it. RESULT !! . In order to fly you must spread your wings

Your comments are welcome .

Success to you all and chat soon
