Jody’s Blog . . . a life after chronic fatigue syndrome

This virtual world has been a real education for me these past few months.

I have done a little writing for a few different sites at a penny a word. Learned something from each of them.

Last week I began actually working for EmpowHer.com, a great women’s health website. I had been contributing articles on CFS to this site over the past four months, and now I have the opportunity to do some freelancing for them.

After being so sick for so many years, and after only being back online for such a short time, this is like a dream come true.

Wow.

Only on the internet!

I write to my imaginary friend, the one who is always there, who always wants to KNOW me. I write believing I can hear a response (my imaginary friend ALWAYS gives a response, lest I feel unloved or alone).

When I find indifference and lack of regard in the rest of the world, when I grow tired of standing with a gift in my hands, offered up to backs turned to me, and I and my gift are, once again, ignored as beneath interest …

Then I come here to write. Because here I have an audience, I have my imaginary friend.

Even if that audience is only me.
