    In answer to the Ryan's earlier question I let my blog drop off the face of Internet earth when I was battling invasive breast cancer this past year.  I have started trying to figure out Twitter and will be posting progress there.

    I'm one of the lucky ones whose lymph nodes were doing their job and glad to be alive.  I stayed on hubpages the whole time, as reading and writing hubs kept me sane.  Nothing like thinking you are going to die to make you get off your butt and write like there's no tomorrow.

        Hi Jerilee Wei, can I join London Girl to give you a hug too?  Do you know my sis in law got herself into a scare too when her lymph nodes started growing big.  Really painful too. She had to undergo biopsy. Right now, no tests are conclusive.  Daisy and I did a healing session with her (That is about the only thing I could do at times like these).  And so far the doctor has said he is 95% sure she is okay.  But will have to go back after a month.  Yes, I am glad to know you are okay.  Take care...

    Thanks mandybeau and ripplemaker!  It was a lot to wrap my mind around more than anything.  The masectomy was less trouble than having a root canal. I am blessed that my lymph nodes did their job and that I didn't have to go through chemo.  For me, it was a life altering event that made me a better person.  No regrets!

    I started last week after I read court's challenge on his blog so I've already got 4 hubs under my belt for this challenge.

    Only made 0.86 cents with Adsense so far, but it's still early days.

    I've just started "hubbing," although I've been blogging for a couple of years. I might try writing as many hubs as I can, but I don't want the zeal for quantity overwhelm quality. I want to have fun here, and, if it earns me money, that's great. I don't think that the readers should be subjected to haphazard writing too much, as there is already such an overflow of information, people have trouble focusing on mundane tasks, let alone life's goals:)

    In any case, I'll probably be writing here more than usual, and we'll see what happens.

  47. profile image0
    girly_girl09posted 16 years ago

    My goal is 100, but I'm a perfectionist and wouldn't publish anything sub par. I've already brainstormed 90 ideas and am really happy with the topics I've chosen, thus far. I think this requires major planning and no one should start writing 100 in 30 days without a plan in place and they should also have plenty of time to dedicate to it.

    I am lucky right now as I'm on summer break from college and in between major projects at work. I really wanted to write 100 hubs in 30 days, anyways, as I'm upping my course load this fall in a new, studying intensive major (legal studies) and will not be able to work a traditional job. I basically need to have an income of $300 a month to cover my car payment and credit card bills. All my other living expenses will be covered by the loans I am taking out (ugh!). Anyways, after writing another 100 quality hubs, (most carefully targeted), I think i'll be earning around $150-$250/month, based upon my current earnings with 60 hubs. I know this wouldn't be possible if I wrote 100 poorly done hubs. I have enough time on my hands to dedicate 10 hours a day @ 5 hubs a day. 2 hours per hub is plenty. If I get stuck on something, I'll save it and move on to another and revisit later. This method might actually improve the quality of my hubs...who knows?
