I am laughing out loud right now. I can identify with way too many of these. My kids often hear “just let me finish this article……”

I admit to identifying with only one or two of those, so funny. Should I go for therapy now?

I would have to say that I am an article marketing addict, but only because it is a great way to attract visitors to my website.

The only stats that I need to check are the ones showing me the amount of traffic heading to the site via EzineArticles; long may it continue!

LOL, Oh my. This is funny. Does “checking you rating” count or is that self serving?

How about a follow up on “side effects” ?

Haha I can definitely see some familiarity with some of the points.

It is good to be suffering from article writing obsession :)

I am on holiday, in a tropical paradise with my lover yesterday I told her that I would be able to relax fully if I could just correct one article and submit another that had been working on. She put me through hell for the rest of the evening but I did get the articles finished and we had a great time today!

Rachelle is a psychologist and tells me that I am obsessive, I have to agree but would welcome a second opinion!

I just wanted to drop a note and say “thanks” for the uplifting blog post. I laughed so hard my family members had to come and see what was so funny. I guess they are addicted also, because they all read the post and laughed in addition. I am just starting out in article marketing and as everyone has experienced, writing is sometimes a daunting task. I hope this anxiety will go away as time goes on. At any rate “thanks” again for the lighter side of article marketing.

Me too, Johnny. In fact, I’ve already quit several times!

Johnny Rivera writes:

Yes! Connie, you know exactly what I mean.

I don’t sweat when I when I pass by the paper products section of Office Max. Oh no, no, no, no. Nor do I have a special pen to write notes in my special note book. Did I write “my”? I meant “any”. That’s right. That’s what I meant to write.

Connie, you see, we are a part of a special breed of people unlike these other addicts. *They* ARE addicted to words. Yes, yes! They take to words the cookie monster takes to cookies, the Count takes to numbers (Ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhh!) and Miss Piggy takes to Kermit!

What’s this? Oh this is just a cutting edge word processor. Nothing fancy about it. It just happened to come with MS Works, MS Word 2K7 and Open Office pre-installed. What’s in the bulletproof case? It’s a Smith-Corona. I found it in the dump the other night. I thought some schlup could use it. I’m thoughtful like that, you see?

(what’s the word count on this comment?)

Like I said, I can quit anytime I want.
