Hello! Meet and Greet The Adventurous Writer
Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen, Creator of Quips and Tips
I’m a full-time freelance writer and blogger in Vancouver, BC, Canada. My degrees are in Psychology and Education, from the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
My freelance writing career started with magazines such as Reader’s Digest, Writer’s Digest, Health, Woman’s Day, Spirituality & Health, alive, MSN Health and sometimes More.
Now, I’m mostly focused on my Quips and Tips websites — but I do contribute the occasional magazine article, and I have a couple of clients for whom I write regularly (how’s that for good writing?!).
My goal, however, is to earn $50,000 a year from my Quips and Tips blogs. Lofty? Yes. Achievable? You betcha!
To check out my blogs, click the links to your right. And, here are my ebooks…

Quips and Tips eBooks
75 Ways to Let Go of Someone You Love - to help people let go of the past and move on with their lives. Letting go is one of the most painful things you’ll ever do…but there are ways to make it easier. This is by far my most popular ebook.
80 Ways to Say “I Love You” - to help people like me, who struggle to find the right holiday, anniversary, and birthday gifts for their partners! This ebook is about more than gifts, though — it’s about saying “I love you” and building a more meaningful relationship in small, incredibly important ways every day.
75 Ways to Survive Pet Loss - for people who are struggling to cope with pet loss. I interviewed veterinarians, grief experts, and pet owners who loved and lost their animals. This ebook contains 75 tips for healing after pet loss.
75 Ways to Make (More) Money Blogging - to help writers and bloggers make money doing what they love! If you spend time and energy on your blog, you deserve to earn a few bucks for your efforts. This ebook isn’t just about making money blogging, it’s about building a better blog.
73 Ways to Fire Up (or Just Fire!) the Muse- to help writers and bloggers overcome fear, self-doubt, criticism, and uncertainty. After all, who wants to read age 95 and wish they had written that bestselling novel? Who wants to die with unfulfilled dreams and desires? Not me.
If you live in Vancouver, BC – or you’re considering a visit – check out the Deep Cove Forum. I just started it a week ago – I want it to be an “online living room”, where Deep Cove residents and visitors can hang out, relax, and share helpful stuff!
All right, enough for now! Feel free to contact me through the comments page on any of my sites.
Go well, my friends…

That’s a quite huge goal! I would be happy with 3000$ a year
I love the way you have made the online world your oyster! Good on you for getting established as a writer online..You are a great example to other bloggers of how to do things “right”
Your writing is just amazing, I do feel you will start earning $50K from quips and tips. Best of luck and keep it up.
I think that being able to write is something you’re born with, but like everything, with practice you get better at it. Good luck with it Laurie, I hope you achieve your goal sooner rather than later
@Souha, if you want comments, you really need to start writing quality content that people want to read, and (depending on your site and cms if you use one) you might want to try a plugin like commentluv – it really helps with comments.
Hi Laurie, Wish I could be a successful writer like you. & hope you will hit your target soon.
I would like to become a freelance writer and earn money but I have a problem of grammer.

Adventurous writer – adventure requires being on the move and writing requires sitting down. Good luck with balancing both.

Hi Laurie
Shame you don’t seem to write that often now. How is it going with your ebooks? You may like to have a look at my blog – http://www.theSarayiahpost.com which is about Unlocking the Mysteries of Life, Love and Relationships to help others. There are several articles on True Love and Relationships.
Hope you are having a wonderful day.

I’m currently reading a book by a well known Neurologist titled ‘The Midnight Disease. The Drive to Write, Writer’s Block, and the Creative Brain’. What is so interesting about this book is that in some ways, it pertains to me. I’ve always had a drive to write even though I never realized that my brain was hardwired to do so. I’ve been attempting to write a book for the past five years but have gotten only a small amount done. I have contacted authors to see if someone might be willing to be a coauthor but have not heard back. It is motivation I need. Someone to read what I have written and collaborate with me on it. Someone to push me when I put it away and someone to tell me to trash it when it is really not that good. Does that make sense?
Hope you achieve your goals. Wish I could be a successful writer like you. Any tips on how to begin a writer’s career?
I really would love to read your ebook about moving on after pet loss. i actually lost my dog last summer and it was the most devastating thing that happened to me the entire summer. He didn’t die but he was picked by a stranger while he was strolling outside the gate. it was so terrible because i was the one who let it out and then yah. that’s what happen.
