Since a long time ago, I wanted to write articles, stories, books, poems... and wished I could publish what I write and to earn some money. A few days ago, I finally wrote and posted two articles in a spanish site and was happy to recieve a message saying that the were accepted. Now, I already have some more ideas to write about.
Do you also have the dream to write or do you have realized it already?

That's a good news,dear friend.Once you start doing something you were hesitating to do,you begin moving forward.You joined the site,wrote an article for it,and now you are witnessing ideas for new topics pouring into your mind.All I would say is,go on.Continue writing articles for the site you have joined,and,if possible,join other sites as well.Actually,lack of time is a big hurdle.I have joined three English article writing sites,but am active in only one of them.
I wish you a great success in online writing.My best wishes.

Thank you very much for your great wishes. It's nice to read that also you use the oportunity to write and publish. I've already seen more sites about writing/publishing. But, as you mentioned, it's hard to find the time to use them all and to write continously, as more than I also work full time outside home, so I have to use my free time early in the morning or later in the evening. The best time for it is on weekends.

That's right, once this site is known, it's difficult not to think about mylot and to log in every day see what's new. Time is precious and short, hopefully you can manage it soon!

Thanks,my friend.Lack of time is a real hurdle.Most of the time at my disposal goes to participating in Mylot.It is so addictive a site that I can't help going on participating here as much as possible.Of course,I try to restrain myself and use the rest of my time in writing articles,yet a major part of my time is invested in Mylot.Another problem is that I am not free on weekends for some personal reasons.However I am trying to manage my time.
All my best wishes once again.

Writing... love it. I wish I had more time for it for pleasure but since I've been writing as a job for the past 3-4 years, it's mostly work. Articles, three books (so far), a bunch of blogs and tons of other stuff: there really isn't any limit on what you can achieve if you're interested and have the time!

. Congratulations! Yes, I love to write. I started more than ten blogs already but just wasn't able to maintain it. Maybe I have not been so committed. I guess I have to reorganize my desires and priorities and commitment. I need to push myself a little harder.

. Oh, not at the same time. Just a total of ten blogs until now. You are right I should do one at a time. Maintaining it is stressing me sometimes. I will not give up.

You are right, you never should give up. Some years ago, I read a sentence which I love: The victory of a person doesn't mean that the person never falls, it means that you stand up every time he/she stands up after each fall.

Ten blogs at the same time? A blog need maintainance and actualizations al the time. Maybe you should try again, but having only one or two blogs. You should never give up!

Good for you! Writing is also a dream of mine. I wrote some articles on a site and earned some money. You can earn money by writing articles in English on some sites. Do you earn money for your Spanish articles? I also want to write a book or short stories to publish. Maybe some in English and some in my native language. Anyway writing is a good source to earn money if you know the best opportunities.

Yes, I will get paid for my spanish articles. Until now, I still haven't decided if I also will write some in English, as I am not quiet sure if my knowledge of this language is good enough to write well. First, I want to start reading books in English (something I still haven't done) to build up my vocabulary. Maybe afterwards I could try to do it.

All my writing has ended up in data banks somewhere but I've always thought I would like to see a hard copy even if it was a very small book. I'm an aspiring writer not that good I'm afraid so I don't have any big aspirations to be a professional writer.
As far as money goes, well I do think it is always nice to be able to pay for computers and online costs with money you earn while you learn.
Who would like to publish just for the fun of it? Anyone?

Hi Bluedoll, there are people who write for fun.
Take a look at the top writer in Ezinearticles. He has about 30,000 articles and more than 10 million page views, and not a single cent earned from those content because he post for free.
The only reason is that he is rich.
We are not, so we have to bear in mind the value of the keyword we used in our content.

Some writers have got a talent for writing, meanwhile others become famous and great writers after years of writing, practising and learning. If you would like to publish an own written book, maybe you should carry own trying it. Nothing is endowed us and we have to reach our dreams with some effort, instead of giving up soon.

Thanks for your comments. Not sure I am giving up writing camomile07 but do not choose becoming famous as a realistic goal or for that matter desirable for me. You are correct though if I truly want to see something in my hand in print even if it is not perfect then I should work towards that end.
Wow, that is a lot of words scheng1. What you said about keywords is perhaps not a huge burden to carry but I think writing on demand is. If we want to do it then fine but sometimes I feel that the pursuit of money can kill many good things if we let it... agree or disagree, Anyone?

I really haven't written anything for awhile, mainly because I'm not in the mood to write anything for money outside of MyLot. I'm mainly trying to get all my blogs caught up for now.

Oh, yes. I've always loved writing and making up stories. I mostly want to write novels, but I've written some poems, too. Oh, and it would be great to write for a newspaper or a magazine - mostly interesting reports and interviews with admirable people, maybe some beauty advice and fashion trends... but not celebrity gossip, that' not my style.

Writing is really a nice and interesting activity. When I still went to school, I also wrote poems. Nowadays, I think it should be easier to write, at least the part of research, since we may use the computer and internet.

Yes I also want to write something its also my dream to write stories, articles, and some other things on internet but I am feeling little bit shy and I don't know the sites where I submit my articles.I have more ideas and I want to write on different issues on the world. May GOD help me and i will become a writer.

It doesn't if you are shy. Publishing your articles doesn't mean to stay in front of a huge public to tell them what are you doing or writing about. Internet is a great and personal way to publish. If you make a research on internet, you will find several great sites where to write, post and publish. Even being shy, you have find mylot and you write here and you recieve answers for what you post, so it should be easier for you to post articles.

I love that you are fulfilling your dream that is wonderful. I like to write, but do not do it all the time. I think I would enjoy doing something like that. I had not even thought about even trying that. Also, I am not even sure I would know where to begin to submit something that I might write in the future to some place or site. I do think it is wonderful for you. I know I should be figuring out my own dreams and trying to make them come to life.

Dreams exist to be realized and continous to be a dream until we convert it into reality. Writing is a nice experience and I would like to be able to live of writing as my only work. It's a work we can realize from home in front of a computer, realising research for what we want to write, we learn a lot by this way. The beginning is always hard but believe me, once you start you will love it.
