Oh my goodness! I can't believe it's been nearly four months since I updated this blog. I got so busy making beaded jewelry patterns and trying to write articles that blogging about writing just never got done.
Life has changed quite a bit since my last post. I still haven't mastered writing 10 articles to promote a product and actually getting that strategy to work, but writing is becoming much easier.
When e How shut down their publishing platform, I received a notice from Demand Studios that I was already approved to write how to articles because I was an accomplished writer on e How.
I have to say that the format is much more demanding. I have to think about how I word things. Everything must be in passive voice. I never realized how much I mixed active and passive until I started trying to write exclusively in passive voice. Sometimes it really is a challenge for me, but I'm improving.
The good (or maybe it's bad) thing about Demand Studios is that they pay up front per article. Good because I'm getting money every week, but bad because there is no residual income.
I've started writing how to articles on FireHow and have looked into writing for Break, but I'm still shuddering over having to write a resume for Break. I don't know why that makes me cringe so. I guess because when I retired I thought I was through with all that.
I was invited to join Women Who Write Online several months ago. Friendly people there and lots of good information. Most of the members are willing to share their writing and promoting expertise with those less accomplished.
