Booming Business

My views on Triond are at a higher level this month. Must be doing something right. My recent article on "Anger" went down very well. My stories are going okay too, though difficult for anyone to comment on. They are very reflective stories really.

Anyway today I wrote a solid football article:

Here's more stuff hot from the press:

Fact or Fiction?

I said earlier that Factoidz was the site of choice for me. Now I'm not so sure. On reflection I am more a "Blogger" than an "Article Writer". I like to pour out my thoughts, ideas and feelings. Also I love to be anecdotal. That goes with my penchant for story writing. And of course, I love to compose poetry. To me, dry facts are boring. For publishing blogs etc., Triond will do for me in the main. It is, after all, a "Blogging Site".

Apparently most of the people on the web are looking for facts and information. That's a shame. I feel they are missing out. Being human is all about emotion, even passion. It's about Wanting that hero to get the girl or find the treasure. Let's hope I can woo these readers into actually Reading and enjoying the experience. Not merely to acquire some nice shoes or a "bird-pulling" car. Not robotic clicking and glancing. I am looking for people who savour their reading like good food. For me, that "meal" should be served with flair, like a top chef. And eaten like real human beings.

(This blog was written "on site", with no cutting and pasting from "Word". The tag suggester was rather forceful today but we got there with MY NEW words eventually)!

PS 15\5\2011 - Just to say my Poemhunter poems are visible again after the latest "vanishing". Cannot access "Managing Poems" right now, however.

On Freelance Writing etc.

http://writinghood.com/writing/writing-freelance-for-love-or-money-by-finding-clients/ - a fairly recent Triond article that got lost on my table tennis page. There is an interesting "overlap" between "content mills" or "content farms" writers and "Freelancers" who actively seek "clients" to write for. Some internet sites offer both types of work. Generally the freelance writers do better financially than the "millers", but they feel that they are being undercut by them. Some freelancers are rather snobbish about these "millers", and some nasty stuff has been written by both groups about their perceived "rivals". You have to be careful what you say about all this! Nuff Said.
