Wikinut (Photo credit: strovek)

At this moment I am preparing and reconditioning myself for my vacation which is due on May 1, 2012. So this is the reason why I digested facts from my previous articles and put together into one article as my overall status – this is also another way to promote my pages at Wikinut publishing site across the Internet.

From July 28, 2010 to March 31, 2012, there are about 234 articles I published already at Wikinut. Those articles were written in between working hours in Saudi Arabia during the normal working days from Saturday and Thursday. And this year 2012, my first quarter at Wikinut was awesome in terms of views and earnings.

As of March 31, 2012, my Wikinut overall standings are as follows:

  • My Wikinut article pages received a total of 244,072 views
  • My Wikinut total earnings has reached so far to 12.325 Sterling pounds
  • And I already received payments of 9.56 Sterling pounds
  • My total referred new Wikinut writers has reached to 40
  • I already published 234 articles

  • And my total nutpoints recorded were 8,979

For the month of January 2012:

  • Total views received – 25,246

The articles I published at Wikinut in March 2012

There are only three articles I published at Wikinut in March 2012. They are:

In February 2012, I published eleven articles

I am happy at least I published eleven articles in February 2012. They are as follows:

Twenty articles I published in January 2012

During the month of January 2012, my target articles to write were actually 31 but I failed. Of course, I am still happy because these twenty articles are still attracting crawlers for traffic and views – they are:

In addition to it, I also included my latest published articles for April 2012 as follows:

Even if I am away, if someone visited my Wikinut pages, he/she will be redirected to some of my previous published articles. And as I always said, there are many ways to expose those old published articles across the Internet which are legal and no spamming. Also often use your Blog sites to promote your articles published at Wikinut and from other publishing sites.

If you want to write and earn you may join to the following publishing sites. They are the best publishing sites for your online writing like:

I write any subject that interests me under the merciless sun.

Which is the best publishing site? Is it Wikinut, ExpertsColumn or Triond

black belt_wikinut badges

Wikinut, Triond and ExpertsColumn are all admirable publishing sites. It is really hard to distinguish the differences about them. And maybe most online writers would ask - How the three publishing sites differ from one another? What method should be used to spot their differences?

Here I applied some keywords and tags. They are representing the same 23 articles or columns that I have published at Triond, Wikinut and ExpertsColumn. And through them I aptly had determined how effectively those publishing sites supported their writers in the manner of attracting views and promoting their writers’ stuff across the net like:

As I said earlier, those keywords and tags are representing the same 23 articles published on those sites and they helped me determined the differences between the three publishing sites in term of views respectively. As of this writing from March 1, 2012 my Triond pages garnered a total of 525 views so far. My Wikinut pages received a total of 15,103 views. While my ExpertsColumn pages received a total of 1,402 views. Of course, I used the same method on sharing those 23 articles published at Triond, Wikinut and ExpertsColumn across the net. But Triond has the least recorded views among them.

Earlier this month I received payment from Triond for February amounting to 66 dollars cents. At Wikinut I also received payment from December 8 to March 7, 2012 (3 mos) amounting to 3.02 Sterling pounds. And from ExpertsColumn I received payment from June 1, 2011 to March 18, 2012 on March 20, 2012 amounting to 5 dollars.

Summing up the total views from those sites from the date I began writing with them – my ExpertsColumn pages received a total of 2,101 views from June 1, 2011 to March 20, 2012. My Triond pages received a total of 30,931 views so far from August 17, 2010 to March 20, 2012. While my Wikinut pages received a total of 230,785 views from July 28, 2010 to March 20, 2012. 

Despite diverse feedbacks we read about those sites, still, they are all standing robustly as strong bridges for our ideas and our inspiring thoughts to pass by for the thousands or for the million net users across the Internet. They are serving as virtual worlds where to share of our alluring dreams and our exciting emotions. And sometimes the focal points of friendships among writers.

An Awesome Experience with Wikinut

Wikinut

Image by strovek via Flickr

At the start of December 2011, my goal was to publish at least 200 articles at Wikinut before the end of this year. I worked hard to complete my promise. Here I learned a lesson – that when a promise is made problem will follow. And that problem will measure how far I could keep my promise.

The first two weeks of December this year, I did not write continuously for Wikinut due to of my job that need my immediate concentration. First time I had experienced to work with Inventory. And I learned that inventory of available goods is done yearly during the month of December. From that event I learned how to determine Cost of Beginning Inventory at the start of the period + inventory purchases within the period + cost of production within the period = cost of goods available and the Cost of goods available − cost of ending inventory at the end of the period = cost of goods sold.

From July 28, 2010 to December 23, 2011, I published so far to 199 articles under the different categories such as writing, writing tips, travel, personal experience, business, personal finance, short story, true story, news, celebrities, humor, math and numbers, blog and blogging and many more. 

These articles of 199 garnered at least 158,083 views with total earnings of 7.910 sterling pounds. And I already referred people at least 34 new Wikinut users/writers.

paypal_Christmas_Photo So far there are two payments made by Wikinut to me. First payment was made on March 8, 2011 amounting to 2.99 sterling pounds. The latest payment I received was on December 8, 2011 amounting to 3.55 sterling pounds. The total sum is 6.54 sterling pounds. Pay-pal received those payments and made some deductions amounting to 0.66 sterling pounds. So the total official payments on Pay-pal’s records is amounting to 5.88 sterling pounds.

During the month of October 2011 the following dates have attract traffics and views and I even considered them not normal:

  • October 9, 2011 – total views has reached so far to 2,429
  • October 18, 2011 – total views recorded has reached to 1,788
  • October 19, 2011 – total views has reached to 1,799
  • October 23, 2011 – the total views received were 1,121
  • October 26, 2011 – the total views has reached to 1,218

Out of 199 articles I published there some of them are articles about how to attract traffics and views through social networks, book marking sites, search engines and other methods such as:

They are effective and very helpful for my online writing activities.

How Effective is Triond Detector Tool to Spot Duplicate Contents

Triond.com

Image by Blogue Techno via Flickr

I am impressed for knowing that Triond’s detector tool to spotting duplicate contents could not really distinguish the difference between original and duplicate contents.

Yesterday, I wrote an article entitled Factoidz Changes Its Policy to Attract More Writers. The said article was intended first for Triond because I know Triond will reject duplicated items. When I finished polishing the article, I immediately submitted it to Triond for consideration and approval but what surprised me, the article was rejected. Their reasons – they spotted it as duplicate contents. How could it be? I originally wrote the article and I had not yet offered it to other paying sites.

So, I checked out the draft of the article saved on my computer desktop and started investigating the whole piece. In the article contents, I included some links of my previous published articles at Triond with some short justifications especially about my previous short review about Factoidz that was published last February 2011. But the contents of those links were differently written compared to my latest article that the site has rejected.

Of course, I honestly telling you that I felt disappointed simply because it is been a long time, I am writing with the site and that I really had that thought believing that Triond has all the capacity and power to see thoroughly the difference between original and duplicated contents. Now to compensate my hard works writing the article, I offered it to ExpertColumn and Wikinut after I made some light revisions on the titles and summaries.

Factoidz Strives to Promote an Active Community

Dried Spices March 13, 20101

Image by stevendepolo via Flickr

Yesterday I received an alert from Factoidz stating that they had updated their policy which previously stated that in order to keep current; a Factoidz writer has to publish at least one new article each year.

They said, "Now, all accounts will remain fully active without any time restrictions or requirements on activity. Publish once, and provided you stay within our guidelines, you'll receive earnings for that work in perpetuity. Plus, you can come back and publish anytime you'd like without needing to reinstate your account."

The site strives to promote an active community while providing a very easy way to earn passive income - and they think this new approach will brings them more in line with this goal.

They further said, "As a Reviewer, you'll have admin abilities to manage the testimonials that appear on your reviews. We've also given you a link on your Dashboard to go back and quickly rate the services you've reviewed in the past."

In other news, the site has just launched user ratings and reviews as a part of their editorial Product Reviews system. Now, in addition to reading the written review that a writer has provided, readers can add their own 5-star rating to products and services a writer covers, as well as submit their own testimonials. The site thinks that this will add a new dimension to reviews to make them more useful to potential customers.

The Most Visited Site: Wikinut

Star- Achievement-badges Wikinut is not an advertising site, a news site or a social networking site. The site is just a plain friendly publishing site that accepts articles of different subject topics written by authors from around the world. Now Wikinut becomes the most visited site and had become one of the favorite sites for the hungry and thirsty search engines crawlers.

My heart beats faster to see the 907 views. My first feeling was I am speechless when I log-on at Wikinut this morning. Everyday when I visited Wikinut, the first thing I had to look at is my Wikinut Stats. Why? My daily views suggest many things such as:

  1. How I can improve my writing capabilities?
  2. How to write articles with relevant and quality contents?
  3. What tools and methods I should use to help attract traffics?
  4. What to do to get more views?
  5. How to share my articles to other networks without spamming?

We all know that the life of every article that we published here are measured by views. Articles without views are nothing but dead – no matter how beautifully we wrote them. This morning my heart beats faster while looking at the 907 views that my article pages received – recorded on October 5, 2011. It was the highest views I received at Wikinut so far. I even considered them not normal – as my daily views from the start of 2011 range between 300 and 400 views.

I do not write and publish article at Wikinut everyday. Even though I do not write article at Wikinut everyday – my daily attendance is 100% perfect. One of the things I perform there are to explore down to some of my old published articles and prepare them to share to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon and to Google+ site. I also visited other Wikinut writers pages. Sometimes I left comments on them but most of the time I just read them and before leaving their pages I had to choose at least one or two of their articles and shared them off to Twitter and Facebook.

An article about Taboo contents received 501 views that day. My previous article entitled How Far We Can Express of Our Freedom of Expression as Writers on Taboo Contents published at Wikinut on August 24, 2011 received 501 views last October 5, 2011. This is about the negative traditions, objects, or behaviors generally regarded as harmful to social welfare or something that is forbidden by a society as unacceptable or improper – a strong social prohibition relating to any area of human activity or social custom that is sacred and forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs. And it is considered ill-favored or offensive by society.

Another two most viewed articles on October 5, 2011. One is about an important commodity and a popular beverage. The article entitled Is Coffee a Healthy Drink that contents anti-oxidants that are widely used as ingredients in dietary supplements and have been investigated for the prevention of diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease and even altitude sickness. It was published at Wikinut on July 16, 2011. 

The other one was Will You Sell Your Tomorrow Through Credit Card. It was published at Wikinut on September 13, 2011. It said that Credit card when used at the right time can help you in emergency and if you don’t have medical insurance you will be accepted much faster in hospital if you have a valid credit card.

I am discovering ways to get more views. For the past few months, I found out that it is not enough to rely on the site that published my articles for traffics and views or to depend on sharing my articles to some social networks and other book marking sites including my personal blog sites. I found another effective way how to get more traffics and views. I focus on search engines also – I submitted my Wikinut Profile Link once a week the same what I am doing here at Triond to Bing, to Yahoo Bookmark and to Google news. These search engines are the root for views and traffics.

The Essential Qualities for a Would-be Writer

Tutor Appreciation 2009

Image by farrellink via Flickr

It began when the Writers’ Bureau in Manchester, had offered me a tutorial course in Creative Writing by mail. At first, I was undecided about accepting the offer. My reason was that the English language was not my spoken language. However, it did not diminish my ambition. I accepted the offer.

It was in July 1999, I met my Tutor. She was Ms. Margot Raneri. She believed that self-confidence and dedication are essential qualities for a would-be writer.

The highlights of my tutorial course were my Tutor’s comments, advice and reminders. These three elements have helped me in developing my writing ability. Despite the fact I was a slow learner, I became so aggressive about wanting to learn from the course. I studied the modules in depth, the hundreds of corrections on my works such as, the sentence-constructions, spelling, and spacing, when to use the article a, and an, including the narrative prose, dialogue and thoughts, the action, description of the characters, and the right presentation.

I worked hard. However, still I had the feeling of fear. Fear that I might fail the course.

Nevertheless, my fears were gone when I received my Tutor’s comments on my works. She said I had always devised very interesting ideas for the subject via a straightforward style. I had devised a good atmospheric style, with strong characterization. I had always devised a very interesting storyline that revealed the necessary conflicts and dramatic high spots for a story.

She further advice me that I should study the corrections intently. I should study English, at home either via a grammar-book or at a college, as part of the learning process. That I should learn from my mistakes, as the most vital part of my tutorial course, for these things would benefit me when the course is over.

Market research is a vital importance too, and that I should study in depth those publications, which interest me the most. I should not rush through the course at speed, and I should also write articles, stories in my own language, she said.

All these reminders, advice and comments from my Tutor are the essential elements to consider for myself as part of the learning process. Now I had become so eager to become a writer, with dedication and determination!

Ways to Test Your Blog Site

Blogging at the Crossroads

Image by Mick Orlosky via Flickr

Your blog site is the storefront of your articles and other stuff. It is also a cool place where to share all of your published articles from the different websites you are writing with. Your blog site needs to attract readers and visitors in order to keep them coming back. For that reason you would have to pull up your blog site and ask yourself a few questions.

Normally, when I visit other blog sites I usually asked myself the following:

  1. Where would my eyes go first?
  2. Can I tell what the blog site is about?
  3. Is the information found above the fold is really important?
  4. Are there benefits to enjoy that are clearly highlighted on the homepage?
  5. Is there a clear call to action or a way to communicate with the owner?
  6. Are the colors and fonts used are distracting to the eyes?
  7. Would I feel personally connected on this site?
  8. Are there links found to other social media?

Based from the above questions – I found out that to create a blog site is not far as when writing an article. When you write an article first you have to focus on your article title. You might ask yourself the following: Is it catchy? Or is it an attention grabbing title? Would it attract visitors and readers to read the whole article? Man, it is the same with your blog title – you need to use a title that would attract people to visit your blog site.

Your blog site description is as the same when writing a summary of your article. Your summary is the overall layout of your article body. Your blog description tells the most important section and parts found on your site. It suggests visitors and readers what exactly your blog site is all about.

When writing your article body sometimes you include photos, videos and links. They are normal and very effective method. They help attract readers to read your article. They are part of the overall layout and presentation of your article. And much more if it is written with relevant contents. It is the same with your blog site. You need to include some attractions for your readers and visitors to stay longer.

Some blog sites I visited are equipped with some media tools like: Music videos, Movie videos, MP3s, Photo albums and some with podcasts. Others included Encyclopedia, Dictionary, Social networks and other links going to other websites where the blog site owner is also connected with. Others included chat rooms where the visitors and readers can leave their messages or to chat other visitors.

In a survey – it is found that not all visitors like to read articles published on a site instead, they like listening articles on podcasts, watching music videos and movies, listening MP3 music or scanning the photo album pages to spot unique and awesome photos.

It is not yet too late - once you determine a few areas where you can improve, develop a plan to start implementing changes on your blog site. You don’t have to do them all at once – just do a few at a time until you have a blog site that really attractive to visitors and readers. And if your visitors and readers stay on your site at least 5 minutes long you are lucky and they will keep coming back.

Will You Plagiarize My Works

Orange "X"/Cross logic icon.

Image via Wikipedia

Published on Writinghood, Mar 27, 2011 Category – Online Writing

If you plagiarized my works, it is understood that you love my works. You love my silly thoughts and you love my stupidity.

This article is the result from those articles I read this morning from my Triond Friend’s pages. I cannot believe that there are people loved this habit of stealing others works. Did they do that for money or for fame?

Now to make them happier, I am offering my works to be plagiarized but they should meet my three conditions.

  • They should not edit my articles.
  • They will use them and publish them as they are and
  • They should read first 102 times for each article I published here.

If they will focus on number three condition – I am so sure they will feel uncomfortable and might forget to plagiarize my works!

So far I have 102 articles already published at Triond excluding this one. They are available on those sites powered by Triond. If they (thieves) are willing and have the interests to steal my works – this is the link where to find them: My Triond Treasure Box. They can also include all my Triond badges too if they wanted them.

After they do that and they successfully published them - they can invite me to visit those articles and become one of their avid fan readers too. I will not charge them for anything.

The Three Sources of Triond Potential Income

NSPC 2010 Online Writing Contest_13

Image by thepocnews via Flickr

Published on Writinghood, Mar 26, 2011 Category – Online Writing

The more you write articles, the more you refer people to Triond and the more clicks of adverts found on every article page you have are the three main sources of our Triond income.

While playing with my Triond control panel, my attention was focused on the earning section. Under it are grouped of words written such as Content, Referrals and Google AdSense. Each is displaying some amounts of money as my Triond earnings for this month which is now higher compared with my last month earnings. 

As I analyzed them, I found out that the more articles I wrote and published, the more the chances to get views and traffics. The more people I referred to Triond to become contributors, the more chances of bigger commissions I would get from my referrals if all of them are actively writing too and the more visitors to visit and read my articles pages are the more chances for the clicks of adverts which mean an increase of my Google AdSense earnings.

Now I understand why there is always a included message said, “Create More Content, Focus on Profitable Topics, Share Your Content, Add Triond’s Widgets to Your Blog or Website and  Follow the Writing Guidelines” with the notice from Triond Team when my article is approved and published on one of the websites powered by them.

100 Articles for 74 Days of Hard Labor--a Legacy That I Could be Proud of

Writing

Image by Ed Yourdon via Flickr

Published on Writinghood, Mar 24, 2011 Category - Writing

My Triond dashboard had become my original book of records for all the transactions I am venturing with this site. From it I learned that I have already written about 100 articles so far including this one if approved for 74 days of hard labor - a legacy that I could be proud of.

Today I found out that my Triond dashboard is the most perfect place to look around for great ideas for articles. My Triond dashboard caters all the information about my overall activities at our Triond community.

During the month of October 2010, I had used six days to write my awesome blogging and I published at least 10 articles. For the month of November 2010, I published 5 articles for 5 days of hard works. During December 2010, I wrote and published at least 14 articles for 14 days of hard labor. For the month of January 2011, there were about 20 articles I published for 17 days working with my computer. For February 2011, I wrote at least 34 articles for 18 days. For the present month including this one if approved are 16 articles needed to complete the 100 articles. I wrote them for 14 days respectively.

The articles were written and published under 42 different categories (not including this article).

Opportunities – five articles, Business - five articles, Writing - eight articles, Conditions and Diseases – four articles, Issues – five articles, Poetry – one article, Social Networks – six articles, Christianity – two articles, Search Engines – six articles, Holidays – two articles, Money making – three articles, Shopping – three articles, Online Writing – three articles, Blogging – three articles, Technology – two articles, Thoughts – four articles, Asia Pacific – one article, Relationship – one article, Advice – one article, Philosophy – four articles, Meteorology -one article, Mathematics – four articles.

Islam – one article, Humor – two articles, Education – five articles, Government – one article, Style – one article, Book Talk – one article, Psychology – two articles, How To – one article, Work – one article, Religion – one article, Health – one article, Society – one article, Arts – one article, Paranormal – one article, Journal – one article, Spiritual – one article, Web Talk – one article, Ethnicity – one article and People – one article. 

If we will analyze those categories I mentioned above – they are hot keywords as well as hot tags that SEO (Search Engines Optimization) would love to crawl. Lastly, don’t stop playing with your Triond dashboard. I considered it as a great mine for great ideas for article writings.

Ideas Come When I Don't Need Them

A Writing Kind of Day

Published on Writinghood, Mar 23, 2011 Category - Writing

Ideas don't come on my way when I needed them. But when I don't need them, they come on bunch knocking my brain.

Today, the whole morning, my brain was empty. There was no idea pouring in. I was totally out of inspiration. And this condition had almost pushed me to walk away from my computer. But before leaving, I checked out  first my Triond message box. And there I found a short message from one of my Triond friends. And from that message an idea has started flowing in.

I quoted the message that reads “I’m newbie in Triond. Could you give some tips to be succeeded in this site?”

I did not let him wait for long. I replied him immediately. I quoted them here as follows:

  • Write awesome original articles and publish them.
  • Share them to your friends, family and to social networks.
  • Make friends with other Trionders.
  • Visit other pages and leave comments.
  • Support other newbies by visiting and commenting on their works.
  • Share your Triond articles to your blog site: wordpress, blogger and other hosting sites.
  • Maximize the use of facebook and twitter.

In addition, I also invited him to visit and check out some of my articles published here as their contents contained all of the above I mentioned such as:

From that short communication, this article you’re reading now was the result. Also I promote my previous published articles with this article.

How to Get a Triond Badge Without Posting Anything

1533786_Triond-Banner-Ad_620

Image by strovek via Flickr

Published on Webupon, Mar 15, 2011 Category – Web Talk

You might find the above title as a mind boggling question. But don't be misled guys. This is another silly thought I have today. And I feel at this very moment there are people out there laughing at me now as this is impossible. Although the evidence is clear - I got my August 2010 badge without any article posted during that period. And this is my confession.

I had joined Triond on the mid of August 2010. And there was an August Special that says “Publish at least 5 articles during August and you will automatically receive a 10% increase in revenues!” and in addition to it an August Badge will be awarded too.

My August 2010 Triond Badge.

The month of August 2010 had come to pass. As recorded in my journal I earned less than 50 dollar cents with the August badge. I received the payment with my October pay through Pay Pal. However, I stopped visiting Triond from the start of September to October 20, 2010. And during that period I kept busy posting articles at other paying sites. In my profile page – there were no records of evidence that I have written articles from that particular period of time particularly from August, September till October 20, 2010.

If you will visit my Triond Profile Page – my August badge is visible. And if you will browse my articles published in that section, you will see that my first recorded published article was dated October 21, 2010.

As I told you, this might be a mind boggling question: How did I get my August 2010 Triond Badge? If you will have the interest to answer the above question through your comments you are welcome. Guess as you wish. There will be a surprise waiting!

How to Tailor Tags Into an Awesome Article

Triond.com

Image by Blogue Techno via Flickr

Published on Writinghood, Mar 1, 2011 Category – Writing

Tags are powerful magnets that help boost traffics and views to our articles and to the websites that published them. They are compelling keywords and healthy recipe for the hungry search engine optimization.

This is what you would do:

  • First look for the tags you used with your articles that are published already. If you are at Triond – they are found at your profile page either at the top section or at the bottom section.
  • Try checking one of the tags found on that section – after checking it, you will see then that there are hundreds of related articles have used with the same tag written by different authors.
  • Now go back to your page and browse your published articles.
  • Take one of the tags you used from each article. Example: Plagiarism is Not a Crime- this is the title of the article published at socyberty. I used here six tags. I will take one tag from this article which is plagiarism. I will highlight now plagiarism and will insert the URL link of the article on it. If someone has clicked plagiarism – it will lead him to the site where the article Plagiarism is Not a Crime was published.
  • Now proceed writing your awesome article by using the different tags you used on your published articles with inspiration.

Out of 84 articles I have written and was published on those sites powered by Triond excluding this one if approved, I had used at least more than 300 tags – but out of the three hundred tags there are only 20 article tags considered by SEO (search engine optimization) as powerful keywords. 

  1. Business - many online bloggers, authors and writers are using this tag. 
  2. Creative Writing – many online writers on fiction or non fiction are using this tag.
  3. Facebook – one of the biggest social networks with more than 500 million users.
  4. Google – one of the fastest search engines in the Internet.
  5. Guides – many writers have used this for “how to article” for healthy and beauty tips and etc.
  6. Learning – one of the ten virtues that will heal our homes, family and nations.
  7. Mathematics – the only versatile branch of science that people should love.
  8. Money – everybody needs money but don’t let money control you.

How to Plotting Your Story--part Three

A good way of dreaming up plots is to look at proverbs and well known sayings and investigate what associations they spark in your mind.

Readers want to be taken out of themselves for a few minutes, whisked off to a world where exciting and intriguing things happen. They want their fiction to be different – more Technicolor than real life. They read to escape drudgery and dullness, so always try for setting and plots that break away from the commonplace and mundane.

The plot is the most important factor in a short story and nothing – but nothing should hold it up or challenge it for the reader’s attention. See also if you can have a circular or return ticket plotline where the story brings you back to the point at which the narrative started.

Also readers can get enough depression at home with red bills, ringing phones, noisy neighbors, demanding kids and grumpy spouses. They don’t need or want to read a depressing tale, so make your stories light, positive and up-beat.

Another way of plotting is the shaggy dog story. The writer builds up conflict, piles on suspense and then unexpectedly produces a comic punch line. Always try to deal with topics in a way that leaves the reader feeling uplifted and full of hope.

Have storylines that show characters taking charge of their own destiny and standing up for themselves. There is no such thing as an original plotline so it’s important that you find a new treatment that will make a storyline crackle with originality.

Click to read part One and part Two.

Keep the reader guessing. The more choices your hero has, the less predictable the storyline becomes. And having a simple theme to your story is great but don’t set out to give it a moral. You’ll end up a sermon or a piece of propaganda!

How to Plotting Your Story--part One

Plotting your story either it is fiction or non-fiction is simple and easy to follow. To qualify as a story there must be incidents: a chain of events. There must be a crisis to be resolved; action to follow. There must be a plot.

Here are some good points to consider when plotting your story.

The majority of stories by new writers fail because they don’t have enough plot or a plot that is not strong enough to sustain interest. Sometimes, writers will have the beginning of a plot. Their character faces a problem but it is trivial and quickly overcome. There is no drama.

To hold the reader’s attention your hero must face a crisis or dilemma that demands his immediate and full attention. Overcoming it should be tricky or awkward. Not overcoming it will have serious repercussions. There is a strong likelihood he will fail. And the solution he devices has to be unexpected and ingenious.

A common error is to confuse the basic set-up of the story – the opening crisis or situation – with the plot. The plot is what happens from there – how the events unfold.

A good basic structure looks like this: (1) Introduction – main character faces a worrying conflict/problem/dilemma, (2) Middle – in flashback we learn of the background and events that led up to the conflict and (3) Ending – the conflict is satisfactorily resolved.

Another workable structure is to have a hero who has a goal he desperately needs to achieve – and then put obstacles in his way.

Where to Find Ideas for Articles for Awesome Blogging and Online Income

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category – Online Writing

Some of us would not admit to the silly, sad, quirky and downright worrying things that suddenly appeal to our imaginations and make them rush to put down a story article on paper because we always thought that by doing it is weirdness – without realizing that if we can think up two, three, six or more article ideas a day – they are as likely to share that solid-gold secret as a guaranteed system for attracting more traffics and views.

Some of us are asking Where do you get your article ideas rather than How do you think up article ideas, the person quizzing us is implying that there is a shop somewhere – known only to professional article writers – where we go to get ideas for articles.

The truth is that article writers don’t need an idea shop. They are constantly churning over snippets of ideas in their heads, slotting together random thoughts and seeing what gels into the beginning of an article. They keep their eyes and ears open.

Observation is the key. Don’t let ourselves become so hassled that we don’t have time to look around. Article ideas are all around us. We just need to stop and watch. By recording things that we see around us improves our observational skills. So stop, watch, record and think.

Here are some top ten tips for our article ideas:

  1. What if? – Here we must imagine a world where everything we know gets turned on it head. What if there was a place where children hated ice cream but loved vegetables. What if animals could talk as fluently as the same the language that people use?
  2. Talking Pictures – grab a bundle of old magazines. Cut out any pictures that take your fancy. Stick them in a drawer. When you look at them months later – out of context – you will be astounded by the ideas they spark.
  3. Holy Smoke – people have been raiding the Bible for story ideas for more than 2,000 years – why stop now? Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark. There is not copyright on it.
  4. Once Upon a Time – there is no copyright on fairy tales. Imagine the fun you can have sticking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into fiction setting – maybe she’s an astronaut and the dwarfs are aliens.
  5. Read All About It – the newspapers are packed with story ideas – hidden away in the quirky fillers at the bottom of the page. A quick scan of one day’s papers should provide us with enough ideas to write.
  6. Scribbles – jotting down a line or two when we see or hear something that tickles our imagination while we are out and about. Then when we need to write a story article – we will have a fund of potential ideas.
  7. Funny Titles – when we are out and about or when we are alone sitting down on our favorite chair, we sometimes spotted ourselves laughing – usually it is happening when we are thinking event happened from the past or an event happened just recently. They are mine of ideas too.
  8. Bard Luck – Shakespeare can be another great source of ideas. Sometimes you have to take time to read Shakespeare writings.
  9. All The Pun of The Fair – we can also get a quirky new article idea from playing about with puns – about the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning.
  10. Nick, Nick – I am not advocating plagiarism. I don’t suggest that we will go round stealing other people’s articles and stories but we can come up with fresh ideas using published works as inspiration. We can also borrow from ourselves. If we are lucky enough to have several published articles under our belts we can go back and look at them and rewrite them.
