Handwriting: Is It A Skill, Aircraft, Or Gift?

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Whenever you foregather writers together they talk about writing. There are multifarious divergent types of writers. Those who prefer to author in long-hand or can at worst write on an old-fashioned handbook typewriter. Those who disparage to music, demand ended temper, or produce most beneficent surrounded by means of noise. You include the writers who [...]

Editorial For the sake of Recreation And Profit

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Every penny-a-liner dreams of the period when they can profit from their writing. While return opportunities overflow with for the benefit of writers, each method has drawbacks. Newspaper and ammunition reporters can change a allowable living but their subject matter is oftentimes closely regulated and directed. Corporate writing can be even more lucrative but sober-sided [...]

Theme Articles: Pinpoint Correctness

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

This may not be a politically reprimand analogy, but if you were to develop unlikely a journey ballistic missile from 200 miles away you would want it to sensation your butt, am I correct? The constant can be said for an article writer — the substance of any article is utter vital, but an article [...]

The Lion, The Shrew And The Clothes-press

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

It has taken me decades – strictly – to absolutely pick up another C.S. Lewis words and pore over it. In high school I review Lewis’ hard-cover, “That Revolting Nerve” and totally missed Lewis’ message. A particular decade later I conclude from Lewis’ “Basic Christianity” and fully accepted what Lewis was saying. With The Lion, [...]

From Blog to Article

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

As a writer, do you sometimes/often/always find yourself at a loss as to what to write next? No, I am not talking about topics or subjects you already have nailed down. Rather, the simple desire to get started with something, anything to break the brain logjam. It could be a personal project or something you [...]

Helping Clients Overcome

Friday, January 1st, 2010

If you write for a living, that is, if you write articles for clients you often have heard about writer’s block. Personally, I think the topic is overdone and simply something that comes about when the author is too tired, distracted, or simply not interested in the topic at hand [oh, yes...this does happen!] On [...]

Article Scribble literary works and Clients: When Things Do Not Slog away To

Friday, December 25th, 2009

In each of my subject relationships, I look forward that mutual respect and reliability be basic ingredients in my linking with the other individual. If one or both traits do not exist, then the relationship shouldn’t proceed any further. So, what do you do when you get an uncomfortable or bent impression about working championing [...]

Maintaining Article Integrity

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Inasmuch as I enjoy writing, I do not enjoy participating in schemes to create “templated” articles for other “authors” to use or misuse to their delight. Or, at the very least, to profit from my hard work! On occasion, I am asked by a client to take someone else’s article, make some changes, and make [...]

Ripping Apart An Existing Article

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Occasionally, I get a request from a client to take their existing articles and rewrite each one with a fresh “voice” or style. I usually look at these types of projects with a bit of suspicion, as I wonder if the articles are owned by the client or swiped from someone else. I only proceed [...]

Shifting Deadlines

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

As a writer who works on multiple projects at any given time, I attempt to pin down a deadline from my clients even if one is not stated. Why? Because, the “I am in no hurry for these” statements invariably becomes, “are you done with the articles?” How embarrassing is that if I make the [...]
