My name is Kate Johns and I love writing. I have been writing off and on for my entire life. But, in the past year I have completely immersed myself in writing. My poor husband can attest to this, as he sits alone watching television every night. Even my children have noticed and are feeling lonely, because I can hear their complaints over my tapping noises.

I have sold over 80 articles here on Helium and in the Marketplace section in one year. I feel like putting one of those signs in front of my house telling how many articles I have sold, like the McDonald's sign that says 250 billion hamburgers sold here.

Recently,I have suffered a STROKE. After being home for about three weeks, and becoming super bored, and tense, I started writing again. And let me tell you, my head hurt, my back ached, but I typed with one hand. But i did it! I am coming back now, and I can actually type with two fingers on my left hand again. I am also making a lot less mistakes.

Writing has always been my dream job-okay not really, I always wanted to be a highly paid super model that married a major hot rock star-type. But writing has always been there to lift me up out of the bad times and support my good times. My message here is that even though I didn't become a millionaire super model, writing has always saved my soul.
