Hello! I would suggest looking up sites that provide you will grammar tips. One site that I love is Grammergirl. I would also suggest using sites that only pay you for page views such as triond. That way you can publish your articles and do not have to worry about getting them approved. You will not make as much this way but you will make some. Good luck with making money by writing.

In order to improve your English grammar, you need to read, read, read a lot everyday. That is the best way to learn English and to also learn about writing styles.

Hello Zhawee: I really appreciate your passion for writing. I feel the same way. The great thing about MYlot is that everybody gets a chance to write and share thoughts and feelings regrdless of skill level. As far as tips. English is very hard to master. Consider going back to the basics and do a lot of reading. Enroll in a beginners English or writing class. You can improve. It will take some hard work, but if you really feel passionate about writing, it will be worth the effort.

Ho zhawee! I feel bad for you. However, the solution to your problem is very simple because you already know the reason for rejecting your writings. One, improve your English proficiency. Second, learn and improve your grammar and spelling. There are several spell checkers and grammar out there which could aid you with those. But, it still requires common sense to do that. Sometimes, passion for writing is not enough for you to be accepted with writing job. You will get qualified if you possess those. Learn more.

If you do not have a good English and a good grammar, How are you gonna get a job as a writer. These are the primary qualities needed to become a a writer and after these there are also secondary qualities, But if you do not have primary qualities no one is going to accept you as a writer. All you need to do to improve your English and grammar is to read novels, English newspapers and what ever you get to read that is in English. You could even read short stories in English and all of the things will improve your English. You could come here at mylot read quality post by others members that will also improve you English and post as much as you can here on mylot that will improve you writing skill.

Hi zhawee, Don't give up. You're on your way to becoming a good writer. Read and see the great works and you"ll learn how they did it. In my high school and college days I always carry a book around to read whenever I have the time: on a bus, under the tree while waiting for a ride, on a seashore while my friends go swimming or on the mountains while we go hunting. Read, read, read, its one way to polish up on your English or your preferred language for that matter. The next step is to write down everything you can think of. This mylot place is one way to practice your writing skills, grammar, spelling, syntax and all. You know you've made it when fellow mylotters respond to your posts in a sensible manner. Just keep on reading and writing, wishing you the best of luck.

hi, zhawee, don't give up!!if you want to be writer, just start to write.you can start it with a blog or freelance writer on triond or shvoong.If people reject you because you're not expert in grammar, it's mean you have to spend many time to learn and learn, repair your grammar, you need extra effort, so please don't give up.If people still reject you, take it as extra spirit.I'm writer too, but generally writing article.I'm not good in novel, I try to make my own novel and it's taste good in the beginning story, but end up in lost enthusiasm and mood.If you can complete your novel even in bad grammar, I will very appreciate you!! If you need extra advice and spirit, I suggest you read the book "Chicken Soup for the writer soul".That book tell how the writer start from "0", reject by publisher many time, doubt their self but finnaly find the bright way.You'll be amaze and inspire by that book.If you want to trainee your self and try writing article, you can see my profille and found link about shvoong.Shvoong is writing-paid site that help you to write and earn.So once again, learn and never tired to write :DD
