I have come to the realization that I need to write. It is what I enjoy most in this world and it is what I have come to view my life as revolving around. I live it. I breathe it. I love it. It is what invades every fiber of my being. It is me. I am an Internet Writer.

My morning begins with me turning on my computer, I spend the day dashing in and out of it, and then the last thing that I do in my day is to close my computer down for the evening. Every day in my life begins and ends the same way. A good many individuals joke that I live within the Internet and they may possibly be correct. I work there, I socialize there, and I play there. When it all comes down to the highs and lows though, I realized that there are three distinct Internet sites that are my absolute Online favorites. I appreciate, enjoy, and respect each of these sites for the unique characteristics that each has. I could no longer envision my life without a one of them in it as they have each grown to be a very integral part of my life.

Google is the Online site which I admire and respect above all others. As a writer their search engine has proved to be invaluable to me. I no longer bother to even consider visiting any other search engine for my research. I just know that Google is set up, and designed to give me the best, and simplest answers to my many questions. I access the Google web site a minimum of once a day, but more generally between three, and ten times a day. Google has provided me with an appropriate answer to the thousands of questions that I have had while conducting research for my many articles. Google doesn't stop there though. They have also offered me advice on successfully working online, provided me with statistics on my Online sites, and given me advice on how to improve my sites visibility on the Web. Through the Google bloggersite I have even received free web pages to post my blogs. I cannot imagine my life without Google in it. Googles allows me to write well researched articles, and I just have to thank that old rusty bucket of bolts they call the Google Robot, for granting me full reign of his knowledge. Thanks guy!

An Online writing community known as Helium has also become very important to me. Although I have a number of sites that I write at, I most respect Helium because they offer a very fair payment system, while still allowing my articles to remain my own. This affords me the opportunity to acquire multiple income streams from my writings. Money from Online sources tends to arrive a little from this source, and a little from that one, eventually uniting together to create a viable income for the person doing business on the Internet. Helium really helps this process out. By providing numerous high visibility topics to write under, Helium stimulates, and encourages the creative juices to get flowing. They then provide a number of pathways to receive earnings: ad revenue, incentive programs, bonus programs, contests, marketplace offerings and more. They are a writers paradise and I am so glad to have the opportunity to play there.

Squidoo is another of my favorite Internet sites, they are also a writing community, and they are one that has become a very integrated part of my life. I love the advice and the encouragement that I receive there. Squidoo actually has greeters to welcome, encourage, and aide new arrivals to their site. Squidoo provides a lens, or web page to create your article on, and also dozens of modules which you can then use to make it unique. There are picture modules, text modules, modules to earn income from, interactive modules, and just plain old, good old, fun modules. With the many ways and means of creating a first class web page at Squidoo, I have grown to love the look and feel of my articles, when they are placed on a Squidoo lens template. In addition, Squidoo also offers a share of their ad revenue to the many individuals who create web pages at their site. Those little bits of money sure add up over the long run, and the more lenses you create at Squidoo, then the more you earn.

Although I operate three Online storefronts, play very seriously at a couple Online game sites, and visit my friends and relatives on a regular basis at an Online Social Networking site, those many other Internet portals that I visit throughout my day just cannot come close to matching my top three favorite online sites. Google, Helium and Squidoo, three sites that make a writer's life just a little bit nicer. Thanks for being there guys!
