Maybe I should make that the great panic of 2007, or more fittingly, the great panic of 2007-2008. In the fall a lot of ranks dropped to 0, mine included. I freaked out like everyone else. I stressed, I checked my rank 8,000 times a day. I read hundreds of threads on message boards.

Then I came to a decision. I love to write/blog. I will keep doing that, hopefully for years to come. Making money off my blog was never a guaranteed thing, so I should never take it for granted that the income will be there next month. I always had a little nest egg to pay things like my auto insurance because the INTERNET is so volatile. I’ve had to cut expenses, but I’ve survived. I will keep surviving.
