I’m back. I did not mean to stay away from blogging for so long, but I did not want to write another post until I had finished my first article. I need more practice. The article that I wrote was on time management for busy parents. I took almost three (3) days to write it! Then I was struck down with a bad cold and could not muster the strength to actually publish it for a while.

When I finally felt better, I submitted it to Constant Content.  They rejected it on the basis that a few of the sentences were not written with a “professional” enough tone. I changed the sentences that they did not like but instead of re-submitting it to them, I decided to submit it to Helium, HubPages and EzineArticles. I’m going to use a different strategy for now. I will submit to Constant Content articles which they specifically request whilst the articles with my chosen topics will be submitted to Helium, HubPages and EzineArticles. I also plan to sign up with Squidoo and eHow and to submit general articles to those sites too.

I read an article in Angela Booth’s e-newsletter which advised that new writers should create a “practice portfolio” blog to showcase some of their work. I may create another blog (either with Today.com or Wordpress.org) for this purpose. I can use this practice blog to also increase my writing speed. My short-term plan is one (1) post a day for each blog, three (3) articles a day for the free sites and one (1) article a day for Constant Content.

I will also try my hand at some short PLR-type articles. Hopefully, this will also help me increase my writing speed. Wish me luck and take care everyone!
