I'm sure there are still more opportunities waiting to be discovered. :) <ul> <li>Actually, parang nakakasawa na puro posts about special ed, joke. Its like I live and breathe this topic, but then, there are still many aspects that are interesting too. I have some other plans kasi, career-wise so it is best to not commit myself kesa naman I would have problems later. Thanks, Feng :)</li> </ul> writing should not at all be stressful, if it would be, either your posts will suffer or you’ll have writer’s block of some sort.

But if it stops to be fun, then that's the time you can pause and ask yourself if it's worth it. I think that will be the best way to gauge whether or not "it's too much". Whatever you decide, I'm rooting for you. ;) <ul> <li>Thanks, Mary. I decided to decline though even if it was hard for me to do so. I passed up an opportunity for me to earn and learn. Learn because this would mean I have to be more thorough with the posts I would be making plus this sure is going to be a "plus" points or "ganda points" for me as far as my credentials as a teacher is concerned. But then again, I agree with you completely, if it stops to be fun, it ain't fun anymore. Thank you so much for the support, very much appreciated. :)</li> </ul> Julie, I have no doubt that you can handle it.

I decided to decline. I can't do too much at the same time, don't want to stress myself out by spreading myself too thin and suffer repercussions in the end. If I consider the monetary aspect, sayang din but then again, it is not just that. I may not enjoy writing if that's the only reason. Plus I have other plans which would make me extremely busy that's why I took advantage of the sembreak with the kids in my parents' house vacationing, I did a week's worth of time stamped articles. Will just update now and then plus put some posts with honorarium in between, LOL! By the way, I have another in mind for you. Thanks for the advise, greatly appreciated. Thank you :)</li> </ul> you know what if you are enjoying what you are doing, go for it. pero if it is only a case of beating the deadline, hmm.. think about it.

My personal blogging sked usually is very early morning since I have to be up at around 5-5:30am for my daughter Trixie who has to leave at 6am. After which I am off to work at 10am. Thursday and Friday work skeds are not really too tight so I can blog hop during those days. If I am "inspired", I do articles in advance and out some sponsored posts in between :D Hay, time-stamping is a wonderful thing.</li> </ul> i also need to really work on a sked that wont steal away mommy time with my blogging time… am really trying but… the computer seems too inviting sometimes.

Yes, I do have a lot of things to do. Good thing that the children are cooperative in some ways that I am able to do these things. Writing gives me joy and if I get some extra cash, it feels even better. Truth is, that extra cash is very much welcome. To write just so I can "beat the deadline" of making good articles 5x a week that would be easy too since there is time stamping. But I feel this will sort of drain me, just writing for the money, for the deadline and according to what a contract has stipulated. My apologies for ranting. :)</li> </ul> wow julie i got tired just reading the things you have to do. but i don’t doubt one bit that you can do this. if it is something you enjoy writing about then i think you will always have the time and energy. good luck.
