Eff You, You, and You, Too - What I WISH I Could Say to Internet Trolls

I've bought and sold houses twice.  In each occasion, I learned things. In the spirit of helping others, I decided to write an article/essay on my home-buying experiences.  

However, I was not prepared for how much trolling my article received.  So many individuals insulted my intelligence over it.  Realtors and real estate agents commented on how much they disliked my article (while being sure to leave their contact information in their comments). It incensed me!!  



Thankfully, there are good people out there who stood up for me.  

In any case, here is the very popular essay that I wrote for Military Spouse Magazine online:

Late Update!!!

I know.  It has been about FOREVER since I last updated this blog.  I know; I owe you guys some answers.

So, what have I been up to?  Well...I'll share.

Let me tell you about homeschooling parenting!  Or not.  Yes, it is tedious, but it is not the reason why I've been staying away.  The reason why I've been staying away is laziness.  Also, I've kind of slowed down my fiction writing (but not my researching) in favor of writing essays.  Why? Well, fiction is fun, but there is something about writing short bits of real life, formative experiences with others.

I've been busy with some, but here's the latest one I wrote for Military Spouse Magazine.  Check it out:
