Do You Suffering From Earnings Depression?

Does it bother you when you check your account and your earnings are zeroed out each month? Do you feel anxious as if you must write as many hubs as possible until you have earned atleast your first dollar of the month? It use to bother me but then I had so many wonderful experiences with fellow writers that I was distracted from my original intention on HP which was to earn money. Actually that is not really true. On the surface I may have come to HP to earn money but I was trying to recover from the trauma of the death of my Mother.

And with all the great people and wonderful friends I have made around the world. I still require a little chocolate at the beginning of the month because my earnings are zero. Now they aren't really zero as I have income from the previous month and i have only recently cashed out once. But I am so shallow that it bothers me to see zero earnings at the beginning of each month. And I don't see zero earnings for long. With the amount of material I have published I make income passively whether I write or not. And even now the 5th day of may I am well over $1. So why does it bother me to see zero earnings at the beginning of the month?

Hone your craft and the earnings will take care of themselves. And if all else fails there is always my favorite; chocolate.
