Writing Tip
Our monthly writing tips are written by our very own TerishD. You can read more in Terish's Blog located in "The Abstractions" area of the forum.

Look Back

When not able to write ahead, it helps to look back. In my case I had written a paragraph ahead of the story. What I needed to do was add a section of exposition (talking) presenting some facts. In going back, I realized that I could insert a section where a 'tour' of the surroundings could be done. This allowed for character interaction, story development, and other things that enabled me to present the facts in an entertaining manner.

One should not face a writer's block with the mentality of bursting through it. I have found in my own experience that a writer's block is usually due to my mind indicating that it has a problem in 'channeling' the story. One reason might be a re-imagining of certain story points. Another reason however is that there is a problem in where you are at in the story, so you need to look back and find out the problem with the 'journey' that prevents the tale from advancing.

Hey all!!

I noticed that everyone here seems nice, but I haven't noticed any posts on paying venues. So... I thought that if it didn't bother or offend anyone, I might post a small list of paying venues such as:

Article PPV's
Magazines
Etc...

So, to start you all off, I offer you some PPV's.

PPV's are pay-per sites. No, you don't pay anything, but they pay you. They typically purchase small articles from freelancers, which in turn, are offered to various media publications. General article payout (upfront), ranges from $3 - $25. On top of that, a couple offer pay-per-view. This means that you get paid "x" amount, for every "x" amounts of views.
You won't get rich from it, but you stand to make a couple of hundred a month from them.

www.associatedcontent.com
www.demandstudios.com - this site makes you submit an application to join. You will need some credits under your belt. but they pay good and upfront
www.helium.com
www.studio101.com

There... Those should help get you newbie's started. Hell, I'm still technically a newbie myself. LOL

Anyways, hope this helps.


Mike

P.s... How do you get the signature feature to actually work??
