When asked if he ever talked to himself, Woody Allen liked to respond: "Yeah, it's the only way I know to have an intelligent conversation with someone." Ba-da-bum. Seriously, though, talking to yourself is big problem for many of us writers. That's because we spend a lot of each day in our own heads, lost in our own thoughts. And our interior selves are prone to nattering. Occasionally, they say helpful stuff like: "don't worry," or "buck up," or &... more...

Article directories receive hundreds of articles daily - but why do some articles perform better than others? In this article we examine some of the reasons. Article writing, for a competent writer, is a fairly easy discipline. The task is to write an informative and interesting piece of work in the range of some 400-1200 words. Yet many articles that I, as an article directory editor, have seen are just not up to the mark. Why is that? Let's leave aside for the moment the ones that ... more...

Time is money for freelance writers, so the more you can streamline your writing processes the more time you save, and the more ... more...

There are a few things that you can do in order to ensure that the article directories will approve your article. Proofread - Even the most talented writers make mistakes.

Many article directories will deny your article if it contains misspelled words or improperly composed phrases. It is a good idea to write your article in a word processor such as Word and utilize the spell check feature. more...

Imagine picking up your daily newspaper and fiding blank pages. Or turning on the 6 p.m. news to be greeted by a perfectly coiffed host intoning, "Nothing actually happened in the word today, so in place of our usual newscast, we're bringing you this rerun of The Simpsons." You can't picture that actually happening, can you? And not because there's no such thing as a "slow news" day. I used to work as a journalist and let me tell you, we had plenty of days w... more...

When you hear the word 'creativity' what comes to mind? How about words like spontaneity, impulsive, hasty, on the spot ideas?

How we often perceive what creativity is limits whether we actually do become creative in our writing.

There are two components of any copy, whether it's an article, a Web site, or a book: content and appearance. Content means the words that actually appear on the page - your message. It can be serious, humorous, elegant, bold, technical, or conversational in tone. But the message is the words themselves. What you're saying and how you're saying it. Content includes grammar, spelling, jargon, acronyms, and the like. Appearance relates to the way the words (content) look ... more...
