I have come to know about a writing school through wwww.writersbureau.com recently. It tells me why I should write, what to write, where to send my writing and how to sell my writing. Let us share the information about this school through the website written above.

unfortunately for you my friend, Suminundu... you did not learn the trick of phrasing your words properly.. nor did you catch the trick of HEADLINES. see. what happened. you have said in your opening headline.. that it is a waste of time, to be on mylot.. and how do you expect other mylot fans... to respond to the topic? unfortunate.. I WISH you all luck,.. as you are not going to catch the attention so soon, after your faux paus.

Hi Consultrainer, thanks for your constructive comments and good luck wish. To bloggeroo, thanks for your correction for the title. I fully accept your correction. I was responding to a question asking whether it is a waste of time to be on myLot. My answer should be 'no, it is not a waste of time' because I am paid for what I write here.

We are not in any competition here. We are free to express our thoughts in whatever ways we feel comfortable and are not expected to write in journalistic English which I am very confident Suminundu is very much capable of doing, when needed. Suminundu is a newbie and he needs time to familiarize himself to mylot.

i was a student at writersbureau. They taught me well. I have finished writing 5 picture books. Still they are manuscripts. Writersbureau will not help us to publish our books. So i turned to online earning. though it is small i prefer this. We must have a very good writting tallent to publish our book. Writersbureau is only a school. Mylot is a working place.

Thankyou very muvh for your admiration. I was a good writer, when I was in my home country. I published one book; And wrote articles to papers. All were in my mother language. But after emigrating to Germany I face a big language problem. My english knowledge is not enough to express my whole thoughts. increasing our English knowledge here in Germany is very difficult. little by little it is decreasing. to write picture books for children we don't want much English knowledge. But that is verry difficult though it seems tobe simple. I don't know wherther I am gifted with writing skill but, I am mad on writing. I hope one day my dreams will come true. Thanks.

For me it is not a waste of time to be here in mylot as it is here that I gain my confidence in writing and learned a lot of knowledge from others while socializing. I will check the link that you shared here as it might help me in pursuing my interest in writing.
