This summer I was supposed to be getting a job, but it's now the end of June and I still have not secured anything. Money will definitely be a necessity when I return to NYU this fall so I have begun taking up a few new ways of making money online. The most interesting and hopefully the most rewarding is getting paid for my writing. I've joined a site called Triond, and what happens is you submit an article, and then based on how many views your article gets the site pays you 50% of their earnings. I've just posted my first article, and I hope you can all take the time to visit the site and give it a read. Also, if you enjoy it then please pass it on to your friends because not only is it interesting and timely (I hope!), but I can earn some spare cash that will come in handy. And maybe I can even set some of it aside to buy things for giveaways in the future! I've included a snippet of the article below, and all you have to do is click on the link below and spread the word. I hope to do many more of these articles in the future in addition to the blog so I hope you enjoy them. Thanks!

"Books have been a subject near-and-dear to my heart ever since I was a child, and I always love getting transported into fictitious worlds and losing myself in the rich worlds and characters that writers have created. Literature is an escape from the present, and are in many ways cathartic. If you’re having a bad day, are drained of energy or angry at the world, all you have to do is sit down, pick up a good book, and begin reading. Books can also be a way to explore themes and actions that one may not necessarily even pursue in real life. That is just what E.L. James has done in her highly provocative and best-selling Fifty Shades Trilogy."
