I Write Your Blog
OR
How To Blog When You Can’t Blog
The Internet — more specifically the Blogosphere — is strewn with the rotting corpses of dead blogs. Not dead bloggers, thankfully – but the blogs themselves – many of which had been begun with good intention and are no longer viable, functioning traffic generators.
There is an easy solution to this problem — and for you I am hoping you can see that that solution could be ‘me‘. Cutting to the chase scene – it will cost you about a grand a month and you have to commit to a minimum of three months each month in advance. For that you’ll get all -including content that you will need. You will have an active producing blog. More details on that if you contact me.
I am a professional writer. Over thirty years. Published. Experienced. I write like a demon. I blog like the devil too and tweet like a . . . . a canary? Forget I said that. Anyway, according to Google and Yahoo I am also the Number One “Recovered Alcoholic” on earth. My name is Danny S aka Frunobulax57.
I can make you the number one (fill in your specialty here) in the major search engines too.
Being the Number One Recovered Alcoholic on Google and Yahoo is like the old Rodney Dangerfield joke. “She was so ugly that if you look up ‘UGLY’ in the dictionary you would see her picture. ” – except this is no joke. If you look up “Recovered Alcoholic” on Yahoo – there I am. Number one, right on top.
When I was a kid growing up in D’ Bronx I used to pray every night, “When I grow up I want to BE SOMETHING!” Now I see that I should have been more specific.
Still this is good. For me. For you too. It is good because I do not have to prove that I know how to Blog and make Blogs do what they are supposed to do. The “owners” of all that is the discipline we have come to know as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) does that for me – Google and Yahoo.
If I can do thi
s for myself then I recon I may as well help others too. No, not help turn them into alcoholics - you do not want to do that — trust me — but I can create and maintain a blog for others that can help bring them to the top of the major search engine pages like mine is in order to foster communication with new and existing clients, customers and communities or just provide visibility and a presence that has been eluding them for years.
I am not about to give away my secrets, mind you, but if I can allow a limited number of folks to get their hands on me and bring them into the blogosphere where I have been residing for almost ten years now — and help get them all ‘Blogged Up’ and pulling in traffic – then perhaps I could also charge a fee for it – a healthy fee but a reasonable one for sure.
If I were selling anything as a “Recovered Alcoholic” hell, I’d be a fraekin’ billionaire by it. But I don’t. I can’t. Companies spend millions to get on the search engines where my “Recovered Alcoholic” is – and still don’t.
I have been writing compelling feature stories, articles, news copy, print and broadcast ad copy, company brochures, business plans, Public Offering Prospectus, sales letters and brochures, POP materials, technical manuscripts, novels, short stories, man, all kinds of stuff for over thirty years. I cannot even believe that I am that old.
These days I write novels and books – good ones I think. The marketplace and time will tell. I have several completed – a non-fiction and a fiction novella — and the hunt for an agent is on. Meanwhile fiction novel number three and blogging are what to do. Since I have been blogging so prodigiously for so long it would do you well to get a hold of me before I die – or burn out – and please do not forget to click on the “Googleme” below to see if what I say about me and search engines is true. Then imagine if that were your position on the search engine pages — your blog. What would it be worth to you?
After you Googleme — keep clicking on through and come to me. We’ll talk.
Peace,
Danny S – RLRA

About Danny
Danny first began writing in the 70s when he landed a job as publicist and advertising director for a Bronx produce company. He wrote advertising copy and press releases for the company until 1982 when he left to start his own weekly tabloid newspaper where he was Editor-in Chief. Writing mostg of the paper’s features. The paper las later taken public throuhg a public stock offering.
Danny spent the next ten years importing and selling fruit and vegetables to supermarket chains. He worked on Wall Street in New York City in the mid eighties through the nineties, first as a stockbroker (First with JT Moran, the stock brokerage firm which was the subject of the movie “Boiler Room”) and then an Investment Banker and Officer at a Broker-Dealer firm. In 1999, he moved from Bayside, Queens to Cape Cod, Massachusetts and worked for a large Insurance Company selling life insurance and investments, until last year when he decided he would quit the Financial Services Industry and follow advice he had been hearing for years: “Do what you would be doing for free anyway”.
He had already been working with alcoholics, writing (about recovery) and breeding thoroughbred racing pigeons. He now is a fulltime writer, developing several fiction and non-fiction works as well as working as a published, freelance Business and Finance writer for The Barnstable Patriot, Cape Cod’s oldest weekly newspaper.
During this transition, Danny also began working three days a week for the local rehab center, Gosnold on Cape Cod, aiding addiction counselors with rehabilitating alcoholics and drug addicts. But he was fired from the institution for having too much “zeal” and for what he terms as “Professional jealousy”.
Danny says, “I thought I had misheard them. They have this great cafeteria and employees are allowed to eat all they want – I thought the Director said I had too much veal”. But they really did mean that Danny had too much zeal – too much passion for recovery from alcoholism, which threatened the “trained” counselors and aids that in Danny’s words “Are well meaning but counseling people about something they know nothing about”. He expounds on this “without malice” in his latest nonfiction work, “Strangely Insane”
Nancy Schwarzhoff currently helps support the family working in a floor tile store, while Danny sells his works freelance and pursues writing full time. (The writing money is very sparse) Danny is 6′ 1″ and is of Irish-English ancestry. He weighs about 230 pounds, a fact which he laments, since he considers himself to be too overweight. He plans to start working out in a real gym, although he does exercise daily in his pool, doing laps. The Schwarzhoffs live in a large130 year old Victorian style home that he jokingly calls “The Schwarzhoff Compound” due to its close proximity to the Kennedys.
In good weather, Danny can be found poolside, under umbrella, writing. He uses a Toshiba laptop with MS-Word. He writes about 2-3000 words a day, non inclusive of his freelance newspaper reporting, or his time online moderating numerous recovery related groups which are dedicated toward helping others recover from alcoholism.
Several years ago he was diagnosed as being seriously ADD. He is prescribed Adderal, amphetamine salts, which he takes mostly everyday, and he finds it to be a great help. (* Except when he skips it like he does and then starts up again, and backspins!) Danny regrets not being diagnosed at a younger age, and believes he might have finished college had he had medication when he was in his twenties. He’ll never know.
Since 9/11 he has also been treated very successfully for anxiety and depression, the two most prevalent illnesses that most alcoholics must address once they recover.
Danny Schwarzhoff is a recovered alcoholic and a writer by trade. He is not an authority on ANY recovery methods or organizations, God, alcoholism or spirituality nor does he speak or write in representation of anyone but himself. He is not a member of any organized religion or cult and has no axe to grind. He does however express his experience and observations based upon that experience as a RECOVERED alcoholic. He does not write as a form of “twelve step” work for Alcoholics Anonymous. Please see the FAQ for more information.

Personal Note: I am so grateful to have gotten my husband back. We have been married now for almost twenty-seven years. He became someone I no longer recognized; certainly not the wonderful guy I fell in love with; who made me laugh, who held doors for me, who was truthful and honest; who was going to go out into the world and make a difference – who loved me and didn’t mind showing it. I lost that guy, during the years that he drank. To anyone who has an alcoholic spouse I truly hope you find what my husband has stumbled into. The joy and serenity that has come back is truly a second chance for both of us.
I hope we all enjoy his new book. (He swears he will start looking for a publisher soon!) On the too few occasions that he gives me a few pages to read I end up laughing and crying all on the same page. (I am sure he does that on purpose, knowing him like I do) Then again I went through much of it. So much he never let me know about. He kept so much inside of him. He became secretive and I wondered “How could I have been so mistaken about him?” I questioned whether he loved me at all and what I did to cause him to turn the way he seemed to be. We had no idea what was happening to him. To us.
Even though Dan has been writing his whole life, this is his first attempt at a real book. When he started it a little over a year ago, I knew in my heart that it was something he should do and have been as supportive (through my fears) as I could. I was shocked when suddenly he said he had over 200,000 words written! How he did that, I don’t know. I guess there is still much I don’t know about him as a RECOVERED alcoholic. I am sure he would have started it and given up in our old life. Things are still changing for us everyday.
Although it may or may not be a best seller; it may not conform what to some people think they already know about alcoholics, I will tell you that it is all true and amazing to me. Even his newfound recovered friends are just the most amazing, larger than life wonderful people I have ever met in my life. Believe it or not, even the still sick ones he brings here to the house, still drunk!
Danny gets some pretty heavily criticism for being so outspoken. I must say, he does have a knack for cutting to the chase. This bothers some people, especially other unrecovered drunks – who do not even know him past his writings. But if they can deal with their own sensitivities, as I have learned, they will find my husband to be a loving and generous man with a passion for sobriety like none we can imagine. And it is only because of sobriety that it shows. Again.
I know Danny’s talk. He certainly does not walk his own talk a hundred percent. He is far from being a saint. Not on your life! But he does seem to have a skill for catching it before too much harm can come of it. And he helps an awful lot of people. I do admire that in him. But do not ever let him tell you that he walks the talk twenty-four hours a day.
There are second chances in life, happiness, and family. It is waiting for you, inside of you. I hope you find it.
- Love Always, Nancy
