Wow! I'm stoked, I'm blown away, I'm flattered. What can I say? After nearly three weeks, one article-just one mind you-has been accepted by Ezinearticles.com. For that I got "expert author". Does that mean I'm a real writer? Or just that I can follow the roools. The rules are simple. All you've got to do is read them! First there's the simple common sense ones. DON'T USE ALL CAPS, spell and grammar check your work. Read it out loud or have someone else read it to be sure it "flows" and you didn't leave out a word or use the same word over and over and Don't Plagiarizer.
Then there are the other rules, make the articles between 250 and 400 words. This is not the place to publish one line zingers or a novel. That's about it. Ezine sends out newsletters with tips on how to make your articles better, give you ideas of how to organize your articles etc. It's a really neat place to write for and gets you some publicity and back links to your websites.
Did I mention I'm stoked?
I have three more articles in queue to be published, but they've been overloaded this past month.

I'm always telling my writer friends to READ IT OUT LOUD! (And yes I used all caps) They need to know that the ear can pick up things that the eye can't. You stay stoked! That's what keeps our writing fires burning.
