Why does Chacalit write?

I write because it frees up my mind. I have been writing for quite some time but didn’t really want anyone to read it. I do spend lots of time talking on the phone, but writing is a better way to let you thoughts flow. I spend some lonely nights talking about the things that happen to me but when I write about it I get more words out. I have written on blogs about my experience as a homeless person, but it was the same as now. I realize now I could have made my blog more focused.

I have several blogs. I have a blog about an addiction. I used to have a blog about homelessness but I am no long homeless so I do know how to remedy that yet. I have a blog about my crazy adventures and a separate one for other people’s crazy things. I have this one that I had not decided what to do with it, but now I can use it for my classes. I probably should condense these blogs, but some are on separate sites.

My new tool I use to help me with my writing is this thing I use on my browser that is called Grammarly and it helps me with grammar. There is an email they send out (like newsletter) that gives me a breakdown of how many words I wrote, errors, and vocabulary. It gets me excited to write more the next week.

I want to become a real writer but and an English teacher told me if I don’t write I can’t become a writer, so I started blogging. I like the blogging because it seems so informal. I would love to write my own book someday. Experiencing issues can be troublesome but writing about it can be therapeutic. I found that if I share it with the world it can be inspiring. Now I just get my voice heard and people are welcome to visit.

Chacalit and What It Means

My name is Myra and I go by Chacalit as well for several years. I have been using the chacalit user name because I love chocolate, but of course, it is also my skin color (milk chocolate). I have two grown daughters that are into so many things and I really want to start interacting with them as much as possible. I went to school for awhile and took an English course that has motivated me to enjoy writing.

I experience all types of things in my life, some things are related to me personally, but other things are just my luck so I want to share them. I have mental and emotional issues that I deal with, but it is quite easy to write about it for others to understand and identify with. I also was homeless for several years and there is plenty to discuss with those issues. I want to share all these issues, some on specific blogs and group some together.

I am also trying to bring in a residual income from my home on a computer. Blogging is important to that journey. Some of the things I do can be related or it can also be just personal, but I can earn income from blogs as well as sharing information on other income resources too. I have so many ideas that I need to learn how to separate it all.

I am currently enrolled in a blogging class and writing class to help me improve my writing. I really want to become a better blogger to get followers. I am on all types of social media, but I am not sure how to do that now I can learn all of this all at one time. Blogging to me is a way to express yourself, share information with people without being a journalist, and maybe earning a little money on the way.

New Blogger

This is my first blog on the site. I want to start putting blogs out whenever I find new and interesting things. I create videos on YouTube and use tons of social media. I want to start doing research on the things I do to share with others my mistakes and what to do. Today I will start with this post and hopefully I will get some feedback and then post based on other people.
