: About Me

Hello!

I'm glad you have decided to check out my biography.  I hope you will enjoy reading all my articles on Helium.com, and will visit my zone (Penny’s Personal Profile), as well.  I love the challenge of writing well on any topic.  I also enjoy reading other writers' articles.  I appreciate people critiquing my work and giving constructive advice.  Hopefully, other authors also appreciate the suggestions I make when critiquing their work.

Most of these articles were submitted to Helium.com before I had any official training in the writing field.  The majority may need a bit of tweaking, especially to revamp for wordiness and typos, or formatting errors.  Hopefully, my readers will leave honest feedback and will take the time to inform me of the errors they have noticed.

You may currently find me on such sites as Facebook, MySpace, and Linkedin, as well as here on Helium.com.  I’ve also been known to occasionally contribute to sites such as EBay, ReviewStreams.com, and Zazzle.com, as well as Craigslist.

In addition, I currently write for clients on Textbrokers.com.  One client I do “ghost writing” for features my articles on The Housing Forum web site, under the name Jeffrey Alley.  I am currently designing my own business web site as well.  My new business is called Penny’s Content Shop, which will primarily be supplying content for diverse media projects.

Besides these career activities, I assist my husband with the operation of an Aggrand distributorship.  Moreover, I co-manage a home, 10 acres of land, and help tend numerous animals and a vegetable garden.  I live in a very rural area of SE Oklahoma, am married; have three grown children, and five grandchildren.  I actively maintain close relationships with numerous relatives and friends, as well as actively pursue many hobbies and personal interests.

I currently have over 30 articles posted to various Helium channels.  Although my ratings state that  I have one writing star and one rating star, I have had two writing stars, three rating stars, and a bronze creative writing badge in the past, based on the exact same articles.  I have also been approved for writing articles for the Marketplace.  I’m down to one rating and one writing star simply due to the lack of having enough time to consistently contribute to Helium.com.  Hopefully, once I get my own web site running more automatically, I can again focus my attention on contributing more to Helium.com.

Additionally, I find pleasure in learning about the world around me.  I like to help people solve their problems, and sharing the vast knowledge I have gained through various forms of education and life experiences.  My best assets as a writer are my diversity, intelligence, and integrity.  In addition, my communication, editing and research skills are great assets.  My weakest ability as an author is choosing one topic to focus attention on as a “niche.”  I simply have a too inquisitive mind, too many hobbies and interests, and too vast an experience range to narrow it down to just one little niche.

2 of 6

The pros and cons of elderly people owning elderly pets According to Holly Frisby, DVM, there are many physical, medical, and psychological health benefits to owning a pet. Recent research proves she is right. Test results show that pets are highly beneficial to humans, especially to the elderly and mentally ill. However, despite all the advantages owning a pet has, there are also some disadvantages. People, especially senior citizens, must decide if a pet is feasible, and then carefully choose the right animal. Lowering cholesterol, less bone loss, and decreasing blood pressure are among ...
