I am a 56 year old writer. While I have been writing for years, I have just recently started to write professionally.
Writing for me is an obsession, a hobby, an income, and my way of making a difference in the world.
I write on a variety of subjects, and love doing research to write interesting and well crafted articles.
Besides writing for helium I also write for Triond, Bukisa, Ehow, Associated Content, and Factoidz. Anyone wishing to read some of my articles on these other sites can find them at the following links.

Besides writing I enjoy a great number of other interests, including, pets, crafts, camping, and travel. These other activities give me sources of inspiration for my articles as well as a break from the computer.
I have had a number of articles published for Trinod under the name Martie. I also write for associate Content so if you enjoy my article be sure to read those at these other sources as well.
As a writer who is constantly working to improve at my chosen craft I invite all my readers to feel free to make comments about my writing. Your comments will help me know what articles appeal to you as well as will help me to continue to improve in this field that I love.

Life
Reading is quickly becoming a lost art. Where once you could see people reading books on bus rides, in doctor's offices, and even on the beach these sightings are becoming rarer and rarer.
