Done and Dusted with Hub Challenge
And so, the end is here...
Yippee! Woo hoo! With this hub I now complete the dirty days and dirty nights challenge! Against all odds, I have completed dirty hubs in dirty days! It has been a bit of an ordeal, a little bit frustrating at times, but I have done it and am temporarily proud of myself.
Over this period in time, I don't think I got more adsense clicks as I still don't have adsense as the buggers still won't recognise my address in China as being a legitimite address. Did Google traffic or other search engine traffic come rolling up to my door? Nope, no more than the usual. I did get over seventy more fans though, so hubbers must have been getting desperate for something to read. And, I did sell a copy of my book! Yippee!
Doing dirty hubs in dirty days was more difficult than I imagined, as some hubs took me more than four hours to do. Working full time and trying to have a life as well, made time management an eternal problem. I tried to keep to my same quality and not lower my standards. However, some hubs proved to be more popular than others, and some got lost in the hubtivity. So, I have decided to share my dirty hubs with you, and the stats for them over this period. Was the Hub Challenge worth taking part in? Not for me, no. But, I'm game to give anything a try. Would I do it again? Nope, probably not. For those who are still hammering away on the keyboard - good luck to you guys and hope you achieve your personal goals.

Good that you have maintained your sanity while publishing so many hubs which were great quality wise too... Woo hoo ... way to go Cindy! *three cheers for Cindy* ! :D

Thanks Mythbuster
Congrats on your work in the challenge

Thanks Cris, I did get frustrated with that damn challenge and there were times when I wished I hadn't said I'd do it, but I was determined to stick it out more for my personal growth than anything else
But the most important thing is... you're alive! LOL
Anyway, congratulations! Many were called and only a few were.... oh you know the rest! Great job :D

Thanks AE, now I just want to comment on others' hubs for a time and work on my book. It is amazing, the hubs that took the most work, most hours to put together, are the ones that get the least amount of views.
You go girl!! Good for you I was only able to complete a total of 9 so I am proud of you. :)
- AUTHOR
That's excellent though, wouldn't want to inflict him on you. Not sure why Australia is keen to let in someone with no skills, education and serious mental health problems lol. Mind you, guess they did in the past!
I will just get dressed and head over I will bring some board games, I got a great drinking one where you have to do shots. Perth.....oh good... that is miles away form here..
- AUTHOR
Yeah BP, going to have a barbie with a couple of wines and snags later on. You want to pop on over? Hey my ex says he's going to move to Perth!!! When he gets out the loonie bin!
You made it. Damn girl you should be so proud. I am proud too. Can we get drunk now?
- AUTHOR
Yeah Jantta, one does feel freer and more in control of one's life and time now, eh?
Prasetio, thanks for the comment bro
great hub. I get a lot information here.
I'm getting there, Cindy :) I know there are some that were published during the first week or so of the challenge that I still haven't gotten to, but I am caught up on most of the new ones. I feel like I have so much time on my hands now!! LOL
- AUTHOR
Gypsy, might take a break from doing more hubs, but not from typing as am now busy with my book!
Hawkesdream, now I can focus on reading hubs from my favourite hubbers.
Ethel, have been just a little busy lol
Janetta, have you managed to catch up with some reading yet?
woohoo!! Way to go Cindy!!! Congrats on finishing :)
Cor you have been busy.
Think I missed one, but will rectify that in a bit, Congratulations on your dirty hubs, thoroughly enjoyed them.
Well done that girl! Read most of your thirty as you kept up the quality unlike some others in the Challenges. Give yourself a break Carpel Tunnel is real and you may need to take up GT on his offer!
- AUTHOR
Thanks Journey, I enjoyed writing that Great Wall Hub
Congratulations on your accomplishment cindyvine! I especially enjoyed your hub about the Great Wall marathon.
- AUTHOR
I agree Sixty, you can only take me in small doses lol
Truthfully I personally have only read about a third of your thirty hubs. a t some time in the future I may go back and read some more but it's the overload factor even though I enjoy your writing.
- AUTHOR
Oh CC, don't ever say that to me! My ex used to say that all the time in such a sarcastic way meant to hurt!
Congrats cindy dear. you're a better man than I.
- AUTHOR
Thanks Brenda, and when you do, let me know and I'll write you a personal message and scan it and email it to you and you can put it in the book!
Hi like the photo of you at the time, you should use that as your avater in my opinion..........
Well done you. I am getting the message loud and clear on here that it is not about money...... it's about communicating with like minded people..... cannot believe you have only sold one book after the article Blondepoet wrote..... I am going to get one, when my credit card is up to date......
- AUTHOR
Thanks Princessa, now going to sit back and focus on my real writing. Have a book that needs words. lol
Congratulations Cindy you did it!!!
I was not "brave" enough to take the challenge... too lazy I guess. I admire your time management: full time work, the hub challenge and still enjoy a life! how do you do it? I seem to be stuck on the last one :) I don't think I would have managed to do 30 hubs in 30 days.
Well done, you showed us it can be done: not only quantity but quality as well.
- AUTHOR
GT, I might need you to be an expert witness and will have to ship you over to Zanzibar as part of my witness protection scheme
FP, nah, the men all got cold feet or were married already!
Well done Cindy! What I want to know is whether all those comments for Wanted: Man with a Brain...translated into anything...er...anyone interesting in terms of applicants. :P
we are almost there....good job. I am your witness to any claim you want to make against hubpages for any syptoms of carpal tunnel.
