Wanderlaugh gunchee gb The idea is that you post your conversation, others reply, and you get some money, not a fortune, for your time on the site. You get to meet a lot of people from all over the world, and talk to them about whatever you want.

I work at home and often find that I can't seem to get enough writing done because I am often distracted by phone calls, TV and family. I have tried to write early in the day before many are awake but it seems I need to get up...

Wanderlaugh You're right about the routine and having the quiet time. Turn off the TV! There's nothing you haven't seen before. The phone can wait, too, unless you need direct contact with particular people. Tell your friends not to call between certain times unless it's...

I hear all about how children do not like to read. So in school, teachers are pretty much stepping up efforts to get children to read. Given that this in most cases will just make a child just dislike it even more. It has soured...

Wanderlaugh I dread to think what kids are being given to read. The usual story is that they give them the dullest, most "acceptable" books and then wonder why kids are bored to tears, quite literally in some cases. The fact is if it's not fun, it can't be...

Wanderlaugh A terrorist is anybody who considers that other people should die for their beliefs or political and financial interests. In any war in recent times, more civilians have been killed than the military, guerrillas, etc. The poor invariably suffer the worst, and...

I am trying to find a good site to freelance for, but so far I seem to only find "pay me and I'll give you work" sites which I don't have any faith in. Any real work out there?

Wanderlaugh I'm a pro freelancer. This is a "portfolio profession", and you need to go for work which will enhance your chances of getting work. Some questions you need to ask yourself: 1. What are your greatest writing strengths? These are the areas where you can...

Wanderlaugh Well done, and don't get put off by slow income. You need at least 50 articles to start making money. Also remember to try some of the marketplace articles and the contests, to boost your payouts. For the record: Helium's problem with the Philippines has...

Wanderlaugh I saw some minor text errors/spelling, but the content side is pretty well done. I'd suggest sticking to the more idiosyncratic scene setting and fleshing it out a bit more. The problem is that this is a little cluttered, with a lot of birds, animals and other...

Hi MyLotters! I have just joined writing sites like Helium, AC, Triond and Bukisa - all at a good friend's insistence. I enjoy writing down my own musings and thoughts, and she suggest why not make money from them too. When I...

Wanderlaugh Flaming is for amateurs and people who are still living in 1995. It's out of date, out of touch, and lousy manners. There's no excuse for abuse, and never any justification. Mylotters take note: You don't have to put up with it. Report it, draw attention...

Wanderlaugh The practical use of phraseology is important. It overrides technicalities in grammar. A lot of grammar is more formal than appropriate. One of the experts on English usage, a guy called Fowler, commented 50 years ago that incorrect usage includes...

Wanderlaugh suspenseful With punctuation, punctuate text as it would sound if spoken. Grammatical usage is in some cases optional, but the syntax isn't, and that's where most people make mistakes in their grammar. Just remember to be self-critical (well, you're...
