Solivagus makes his YouTube Debut!

I've been a busy beaver!

Between starting about five blogs and a youtube channel, it seems like I haven't been doing anything but 'setting up' for a long time LOL.

But I know that everything I do is another step that will never need to be done again and I am enjoying being my own boss and still having the motivation to get everything done.

I have noticed a few of you shared my posts, that was awesome, and I mean from my personal blog!  Make sure you put up a post of your personal blog or get it on Eden's list so I can follow it, right now I'm following about four and I can stand to follow more, easily.

Here's a video introduction I made of myself on my new youtube channel:

 

Whattya think?  I'm gorgeously retarded at speaking, aren't I?  Sorry, I didn't mean retarded in a derogatory sense, I really mean don't I seem mentally challenged?

Lol, I think I was just shy and surprised that I was doing this!  But in order to be a success these days you have to be willing to put EVERYTHING out there.  And that's something I have no issue with as of late!

solivagus,

Drew De Jesus

Introduction and Questions

First let me say that I'm thrilled to be a part of a new writing community where we get paid to post about what we like and socialize. It's nice after a long day of writing for others to come somewhere and just have fun.

I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I'm a major tech geek and I've been a freelance writer for eight years now. Though I keep putting it off, I will have several blogs/sites up and running in just a few months. I'm extremely excited to finally have the time to start working on my own personal projects while advancing my freelancing career.

Just so you know what to expect from me, most of my posts will likely deal with the latest tech news, music, writing tips and useful sites that I find. Some weeks, I may not be able to socialize much at all due to other projects, but I'll do my best to be here several times a week for a new post and to check out what everyone else is doing.

If you're interested in where I got my online writing start, check out my (mainly tech) pieces on Yahoo Contributor Network.

Now I have a few questions for everyone.
1. What are your interests?
2. Are there any tech subjects or news you'd like me to cover?

Feel free to comment. I'll check back often to see what everyone has to say.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself!

Solivagus has Entered the Building.

Don't be afraid, far worse things have happened.  But let it be known that my presence here shall be the penultimate of my artistic expression.  I read in the introduction post here that there is no restriction on what we may post about and I plan on taking full advantage of that fact!  Sometimes other sites can make me feel so stifled that it becomes a job in and of itself not to allow the pressure to feel like another job!  And I didn't become a work from home writer so that I could feel like I have a job!  No ma'am.

So!  Who am I?  My name is Drew De Jesus, I am a writer, actor, entertainer, dog lover, Aries, and I'm a hip old granny who can hip hop bebop and yo ho make a wicked cup of cocoa.  I have my own blog on blogger here that I just started, I won't promote it until there's content.  What I plan to provide there, and maybe even here, will be creative commons photographs that I'll take and that you'll be allowed to use on any post you'd like wherever.  

I think providing free blogging content for creative individuals is a wonderful way to assist one another in socking it to the corporate hounds which sniff at our heels and try to make money off of us.  Uh uh, pay us.  That's how it works.

In any case, I'm 28 for now with a 29th birthday coming up in April, and I look forward to connecting with all of you.  Well, most of you.  Wink.

By the way, all my permalinks will be /solivagus#.html, where # represents the number post of that day.  

For example, this post will be preferredwriters.blogspot.com/2014/02/solivagus1.html - this way it will be easy for people to sort through my posts in order.

Solivagus,
Drew De Jesus
