Write. Write. WRITE!

I've noticed myself getting back on the band wagon since joining mylot. I've only been a member for about a month and, since joining, I've been querying a LOT more and have landed two assignments from magazines. I had been very stale in that department prior to this because I didn't think I had the energy to really produce a large quantity of writing. Yeah, wrong about that one. I've also been taking classes since December and, in each class, word counts are calculated daily . . . one of my classes has 30,000 words and it's only been in session for four weeks. So, I've been writing a lot more in a lot more venues then I thought I was! It's been quite an eye opener and has given me to confidence to pick the pen up professionally on a daily basis again.

Hello,wondericequeen,i have been writing alot since i joined mylot four months ago,although i am busy everyday, i still spend some time everyday to write on mylot. Honestly,from your discussions and replies,i am sure you have very good fundamentals in english,so it does not matter whether you are in mylot,you can still write english without any problems.May be mylot has helped you to type faster. For me,my writing skills have not improved at all,it is just as before,but i notice that there are many people who can write english brilliantly even they are speaking english as their second language.

Thats why I am here in mylot and taking part in various discussions. Money making is not my dream. By taking part in various discussions, we can polish our language as well as our spelling too. Whenever I get confused I check spelling, if I am wrong on any one, I pen it down in a note book. Try to avoid spelling mistake next time for that particular word. This has definitely improved our language and spelling. We are becoming fluent day by day. Those who have already, this comment is not for them. But I am agree fully with the Wonder's comment.

my fingers have forgotten how to type the ASDF way, now it's QWERTY.i was only into computers two years ago and the last time rack my brain in writing was decades ago.since i got my laptop, i don't have any choice but to learn to type again. i agree with you , mylot became a practice ground for us to type and and the same time think and write. our writing skills are coming back.i am spending time here to get ideas for my articles,not to copy them but ideas to develop to be publish in one of my websites.check this out; http://www.squidoo.com/ondepression oh, the owners name is lucybaker.

hay that whats happening to me aswell well i do write fast but since i have joined mylot and this is my second week on mylot and i have realy got the hang of typing in descriptive text and i am proud before i use too think it is sooo long writing about 6 - 7 lines but when i started writing 7 -8 lines i realy got the hang of it in 6 houres now i can type descripitve text and very long lines and my earnings are going up yeaahh!!

I agree with you I had stopped writing because of my college classes and my job taking up so much of my time. Now i'm starting to write a book, and all this writting in mylot is helping me express my feelings better and not restraining them.

i have lots of thoughts in my mind. i used to be a writer since i was in highschool. but when i finished college and started working, i was too focused on earning money already. i forgot my love for writing. and when i came across with myLot, i was able to bring back "myself" again. and i am glad to really be here. being here for 10 months enabled me to be a better person and a more knowledgable one. i am able to share my ideas to people around the world. i am able to find new friends. and i love being here in myLot. this is one place i can be who i am as a person... anne

yeah, sure. Mylot is unknowingly helping all people here improving their writing skill those who regularly reponds to the discussions or post articles. But, I personally found a very little discussions which could be responded using better writing skills, others are just so simple and worthless that probably are not going to make any difference. What you think about this?

yes to a certain extent, but what it has done for me is has allowed me to write, i dont have a lot of time during the day as i am pretty busy but this has given me a chance to jot down some thoughts and reply to some other people's...in some ways its better than a blog!

That is great. Another great thing thing about mylot. Me too, I am planning about going into writing so that I could earns some extra bucks. So I am practicing a lot here aside from the fact that I am just here to kill time, to avoid going out to spend money and more importantly gain friends which I would say is I am doing perfectly ok. I really want to improve my writing skills especially my English which has gone very bad since I graduated college.

That truly depends on the person who is writing, i believe it helps a lot because i have read a lot of great discussions. However i also read some that are not so nice but i gave them the benefit of the doubt too. Good discussions i base on the story flow and also the sense of the topic being discussed. I love mylot all the way. I cant stand a day without it. :P Happy posting! :)

Absolutely , mylot has helped me a lot in improving the language skill and learning some new words. Even i didnt start any new topic this whole week due my busy office schedule and i noticed my earning completely down because of this.Hope this weekend i will start some discussion to boost up my earning. Sometimes i too feel tired in replying and i just log off from mylot in that moment to relax myself.After some while i will again login to start my work.

I know what you mean when you say your daily schedule kind of gets in the way of writing. I've found myself in the same boat. I am just getting back into the writing mode myself. I guess it's okay to take short creative breaks; but it is very hard to get back into the swing of things if you stay away from it too long. I think mylot can be helpful in polishing writing skills a bit. Good luck with your writing.

There is no doubt about it that on mylot I write a lot more and am exercising that part of my brain that needs to think about what responses I am going to write. So it definitely helps creativity. :-)

Yes...I think you definitely have a point here. I think that you can definitely improve your writing skills from just doing it everyday and what a better forum then here on MyLot...

I joined a few months ago,but was unable to get started till day before yesterday.I love to write and I hope that this is making me better at it.But,the actual reason I started was I need to make money.How much do you think I can make at mylot?Trying to earn I have been spending way too much ime here and ignoring my housework and other things I need to do.

I think billions of people have written since millions of years and what is needed is thousand readers atleast who care to read between the lines when a author writes something sometimes.
