Freelance Blogging & Writing Services - Vicky Poutas

As a freelance blogger and writer, I write from the heart and reach out to people who might not otherwise have a voice - those of us who suffer from a mental illness or five - but I do it from a place of humor and thereby take away it's sting. Laugh at it, and it slinks away.
Mine is a blog about whatever. Be it mad, sad, boring or exciting, it goes on the page. What do you want to talk about today? Just tell me and we'll tear it apart with humor.
If you need a serious writer, I am also great at case studies, white papers, copywriting and the like - you know, the boring stuff you don't want to deal with. Whatever you need, I'm here for you with over 30 years of writing experience to back me up. Contact me at vicky@vickypoutas.com.

About Vicky

I am a freelance writer who makes words beautiful, exciting, persuasive, concise and alive, if a little loopy sometimes. I was born in S. Korea on an army base, and traveled the world from the age of 10 months into the present day, so I know a lot about many different topics. I've spent the last 22 years (and counting) raising three children into responsible young adults, and that is no mean feat. I've been writing for as long as I can remember: fiction, non-fiction, creative writing, poetry, creative non-fiction and all that falls in between. I'm a great researcher. I am also easy to work with. If you've got a topic that needs to be written about, I can write it. I've been married for 26 years to the same man, and that's a whole topic unto itself! If you need a freelance blogger or writer, hire me. I won't let you down. Contact:

Buy, buy, buy

September 30, 2018 by Vicky 3 Comments

I've been cut off. John says I can't buy anything that's not a necessity, online or offline, for a month. I've got nobody but myself to blame. No wait, I can blame the "kids," too. For my part, I stay up all night on pharmacy days, and inevitably, usually about 3 or 4 in the morning, something happens as I'm innocently surfing cat memes, stories to read, and those sarcastic humor thingies to stick on the Pinterest board I've labeled "my life." I click on an ad. Those little … [Read more...] about Buy, buy, buy

Depression Isn’t Sadness and Suicide Isn’t a Cry For Help… by Steve Safran

September 23, 2018 by Vicky Leave a Comment

via Depression Isn’t Sadness and Suicide Isn’t a Cry For Help... by Steve Safran I didn't write this, but it ties in perfectly with my message which is "Mental Illness should be de-stigmatized." September is National Suicide Prevention Month, please remember that having a mental illness is not fun, and it's not something we asked for, but it can be serious if left untreated. If you need help, get help. There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not a Doctor, but I am a sufferer. You … [Read more...] about Depression Isn’t Sadness and Suicide Isn’t a Cry For Help… by Steve Safran

My logical brain is missing

August 26, 2018 by Vicky Leave a Comment

Clearly, there's something wrong with my brain. For some reason I cannot fathom, the logic side of my brain is either missing, or was put in backwards. The picture above explains it all very clearly. So, study it closely and then get back to me and explain it to me using Kindergarten terms. I'm convinced the algorithms on the logic side of the picture hold the answer to my missing logical brain, if we can only solve at least one of the equations... Maybe then we can finally close … [Read more...] about My logical brain is missing

So, I was stupid anyway

August 9, 2018 by Vicky Leave a Comment

I really don't know what I'm doing. All I know is I'm trying to put words into this post, and it comes out as a link. Hmmm, looks like I fixed it. Don't ask me how. I need an affordable tech guy who can teach me WordPress. BUT ISN'T WORDPRESS SUPPOSED TO BE USER FRIENDLY? Just asking. As you can see by the photo, I finally got my big, honkin' anniversary ring. It was considerably more than my original budget. I asked John to raise the limit, and he said "you do what you … [Read more...] about So, I was stupid anyway

Help me stop being stupid!

August 1, 2018 by Vicky 2 Comments

It’s happenin'. Again. I only went to my WordPress site to complain about how hard it is to find a good, affordable, anniversary ring, and to tell you guys I'm at my sister's house in Cornelius, NC cuz I told her I was depressed, and she said "come visit," so I was here in two days. I bought a one way ticket. I'll bet she never saw that one coming. To her credit, she gave me a bed to sleep in, and listened when I cried. So anyway, I'm here in NC and looking for a new ring. It was John and my … [Read more...] about Help me stop being stupid!

Home again, Home again…

July 18, 2018 by Vicky Leave a Comment

It's all over but the crying. We packed up the cabin on Day 9, and left to go to Cornelius, NC. Cornelius is just outside Charlotte, NC, and is where my sister, Elizabeth and the other Krajniks live. The sentimental reason? Why, The FIFA World Cup Final, of course. Technically, we had one more hour until we had to check-out at 10:00 a.m., but it's two hours to Cornelius, and the game started at 11:00 a.m. You do the math. I fell 💤 asleep the moment I got in the F-150. When … [Read more...] about Home again, Home again…
