My name is Angela Clarke Pearson. Most people call me Angel and have since I was a little girl. I think I must have been such a little Angel as a child they started calling me that. I am sure my mother changed her mind as I got older! I am married with four wonderful children. I am a new stay at home mom and a new online writer.
Background
A High Class Hill Billy
I was born and raised in South Hill, Virginia. A little town very close to the North Carolina line. I have a deep southern accent. Everyone who meets me asks me where I am from. My husband thinks it is hilarious. I have been told it sounds like a Tennessee accent. Not sure why. I think it is just a unique South Hill accent. If you have ever been to South Hill you would know what I am talking about!
I have an Associates Degree in Electronics Technology from Southside Virginia Community College. I also have an Electrical Engineering Degree from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I have worked in the Power Generation Industry for 20 years. That basically means that I was either an engineer or sales engineer for engine generator sets that back up power to commercial facilities. Data Centers was a huge market for me and spent most of my time working in that area.

Family
I have four children all under the age of 12. My two oldest children have ADHD. One also has Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Bipolar along with his ADHD. Things are pretty interesting around our home. It takes a lot of my mental energy to manage things around the house and keep order in the house. I am constantly educating myself on ADHD and ways to improve how we do things around our home to make it easier for all of us. It is a challenge but I wouldn't change a thing. All of my children are wonderful and each are unique in their own way. My husband works in the same industry that I just quit. He is also an electrical engineer and has his Professional Engineers License for the state of Virginia.
Writing
I also started writing in October 2011 along with starting my new career as a stay at home mom. I discovered Hubpages in October 2011 and write there regularly. I just recently discovered Wizzley and am very impressed with it so far. I really enjoy writing and make a point to do it every day. I am also starting to figure out ways to make money with all of it. I know it won't be anytime soon that I will see any of that money but I hope to be successful at this one day. All things with keywords, SEO, back linking, and affiliate marketing are on my mind.
I have started a blog that is very new and I am learning as I go with it. It will be about living with ADHD children and suggestions and tips for the same.
I have always loved to write. In my career I would write many proposals and technical documents every day. Not many engineers enjoyed that part of the job like I did. I have thought many times that I would love to publish a novel. About what I am not sure. I am sure something will come to me at some point. I am sure it will be fiction if it happens. I enjoy a good creative story.
Wizzley
I enjoy reading so many great articles here on Wizzley. I like to leave comments so that the author knows someone has read their material. I am so impressed with everything I read. It amazes me how smart all of you Wizzley people are. I really have learned so much from the tutorial articles so keep them coming. Please do not ever hesitate to let me know where I can improve. I welcome suggestions and comments. If you see something that can be done better or that is just plain wrong, please let me know. Otherwise, I will be here writing like a crazy woman and learning all I can along the way.

A new blog I am working on about fashion for the woman with curves.

That is so great to hear frugalrvers! Some days I wonder what I am doing. But most days I really enjoy this and I feel like one day it will pay off. I know it takes time and I still have a lot to learn. I am all for learning so that is not a big deal. I have learned so much already from people like you here on Wizzley. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Great to meet you, Angel - look forward to getting to know you better. No matter what the experts say (though I'm not rich, so maybe don't put too much into my words...haha) write about what you are passionate about, write it in your own voice, be real...and the money will follow in time. Now that I've found my rhythm, everything I write is 100% pure, goofy me...take care!
