So a few of you may know that I write horse based articles over at Suite101.com.  Suite is currently going through some changes and are to shortly launch a new writing system/model.

I’m still getting my head around what these changes will look like but they’re opening up the opportunity for writers/contributors to run or be in charge of different channels (topics).

The idea is that you set up a channel and manage it, contributing informative articles to this channel and encourage others to write for it if this is an area that they’re passionate about and knowledgeable of.

So whilst working out this new system once it’s in publish mode, I’m keen to focus a channel on horse breeding.  For those of you who are passionate about horses and writing and like the idea of earning a little for it, consider whether you’ve the time and energy to invest in writing for a site like Suite101.

I won’t say that at this point I’ve earnt a lot from writing equine articles since having started in late 2009.

What I will say is that I have been consistently receiving a small sum each month and even when I stopped writing new articles when I acquired my head injury, I was still earning from previously posted articles.  As someone who’s a huge fan of building residual income, this is very appealing to me!

So perhaps now’s the time to prompt those interested, to thinking about putting into action a plan to write horses, and earn from writing horses.  You might like to consider the idea of contributing to the horse breeding channel I set up or create one of your own!  When it comes to writing horses, the only limit is your imagination.  You could write about:

• nutrition
• competitions
• products
• equine clothing
• the list goes on

So I had my first morning back at work Monday, two months after my accident.  It feels good to be back to work but I know it’s wise to take things slowly 🙂

We were having a staff morning tea and one of the staff members updated me on how things were going with her role in advertising Future Moves.

Recently GOTAFE has made a partnership of sorts with Charles Sturt University.  The idea is to encourage students that may undertake a TAFE course to further their education and knowledge by then pursuing a uni degree.

I love it!  Some believe that university isn’t for them due to a fear of the theory being too difficult, not being able to afford paying for a degree or any other multitude of reasons.

The idea of Future Moves is to raise awareness of what universities can offer students and break down any barriers about issues or misconceived ideas. This particular staff member I was talking with was excited about the fact that she would shortly be getting into the high schools (and primary schools) to talk about what opportunities further education can offer to the student.

Towards the end of the year people often consider their study options for the following year.  My advice?  Keep your eyes and ears open!  Ask people, send emails, talk on the phone, find out what you can about making your dream a reality.  And never discout the value of education!
