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.

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.

November 22, 2011, I started using Delicious for my sharing activities, I had already created at least six stack. with different article links taken from different publishing sites that published my articles like Triond, Wikinut, Squidoo, ExpertsColumn – including article links from my two blog sites: My Star Articles and My Article Photo Blog. So far I have two featured stacks: Triond Star Pages and the Star Article Blog. What good at Delicious, you can add more links to every stack you created.

Delicious is quite similar to StumbleUpon, especially now that StumbleUpon has made some changes on their site. At Delicious you can share your awesome articles, photos and videos and other stuff to other Delicious users. The site has the potential to bring traffics and views to your article pages too as well as to the sites that published them.

Descriptions Bring The Story Alive

Novel & Short Story Writer's Market

Image via Wikipedia

Descriptions provide color, shape, texture and tone. They help make the scenes real. Expressive writing is a powerful tool for adding atmosphere and excitement. It sucks the reader into the story, playing with his emotions. A good writer should have the ability to capture the essence, the spirit of what he is describing as well as just its physical appearance.

Descriptions are vital part of prose. Without knowing how the characters and settings look, we cannot visualize them. The tales become populated with vague, fuzzy people living in an indistinct land. It is difficult to see them clearly. Descriptions of people, era and locations paint in the fine detail help bring the story alive.

The secret of creating powerful and truthful descriptions is observation. A writer should train himself to look for the unusual. One careful observation can alter our perception of a character or a place. The longer the piece, the more descriptive passages you can have and the more involved they can be. This is particularly true of literary magazines tales or radio stories which depend very much on atmosphere and the slow build-up of tension.

In stories between 1,500 and 2,000 words the narrative should be free of unnecessary images. It needs sharpness, movement and pace. Only use a long description if you have a lot of information to put over. Aim for striking images with the minimum amount of words. Three-word descriptions are particularly powerful. Do not get too lyrical and gush with purple prose. Do not let descriptions bog down a story or complete for attention with the plot.

Use simple, easily understood words and direct, clear-cut images. Choose adjective and adverbs with care. Use them sparingly. Be subtle – make the description an unremarkable part of the fabric of the story. Do not tell events – show them happening. Use your descriptive powers to take your readers inside the hero’s head. Help them share their feelings. Do not give background information in huge dollops. This slows the story. Drip information like a leaky tap.

Describe places, people and events as they are seen through the main character’s eyes. Use all five senses. Make the readers feel the sensations the hero is experiencing. To inject excitement give your work a hurtling, breathless feel. Ensure that your sentences get shorter as the story builds to a dramatic climax. Do not fall into the trap of being too economical when describing a person. Give the readers all the information that is crucial.

Ensure that character backgrounds are as different as you can make them. The more stark the contrast between them the better. Many writers find it helps to base their characters on real people – but change a few details to stay out of trouble.

It is okay to use photographs of people or places as an aid to your imagination. Describe what you see. Give the readers a chance to get to know each character a little before introducing the next. Never bring in more than two at a time. Only include people who are going to be vital to the plot – those who have something to say for themselves.

Is Dialogue Really Necessary--part Two

InterviewEPSfinalsV

Image via Wikipedia

When we hear the characters speak we experience the events in the story as they happen. We are there in the thick of the action. But when characters do not speak, the writer has to put over the missing dialogue in other ways - usually in long, fussy descriptive passages and clumsy, intrusive explanations. We are no longer involved in the story, we are listening to a narrator recounting the adventures in a flat, static, second-hand summary that others considered a poor substitute for a ring-side seat on the action.

A story needs a dynamic dialogue. Most of what we say in an average day is boring, repetitive and commonplace. Short story dialogue cannot afford to be any of these things. It is the key phrase, the vital speech that brings tension, humor or drama to the piece. It is the writer’s equivalent of the journalist sound bite. To prove it, consider which of the samples has more impact:

A. ”I hate you,” Leah screamed, waving the knife in Paul’s face. I’ll make sure you never betray me again. I’ll make sure you never look at another woman…ever!”

Edging back, he gulped. “L-l-look,” he stammered, “can’t we be calm and talk about this? You don’t need the knife.”

B. Angrily Leah confronted Paul, waving a knife in his face. She told him he would never betray her again with another woman. He backed away nervously, asking if they could talk it out. He told her that she did not need to threaten him with a knife.

A and B contain the same basic information but one is exciting. At A, there is life, danger, emotion when Leah screams in rage. While B is not dramatic – in fact it reads like the minutes of a committee meeting.

Dialogue has three main functions:

  • To move on the action of the story. “Honey, sit down. I’ve got a surprise for you. It wasn’t indigestion after all…I’m pregnant!”
  • To reveal more about the characters. “Love you? I could never love anyone poor.”
  • To inject excitement. “If you don’t hand it over, I’ll kill you – so help me!”

In all these instances, dialogue is providing information – not just slavishly mimicking speech. If your dialogue is not telling the reader something crucial about the action, the characters or the atmosphere, it should not be there. 

Also fiction writers should not fall into the Hello trap. Beware having your characters waste their dialogue on routine greetings and pleasantries. There is no need to have them wishing each other good morning or asking: how are you keeping these days? It is surprising how much space in a short story you can gobble up with people saying hello and goodbye to each other. It is amazing how much such greetings kill the pace. Also do not allow characters to rabbit on pointlessly just for the sake of hearing their own voices. Unless a conversation is emotion-packed and plays an important part in moving the plot forward, leave it out.

The Basic Sharing of Articles is Still The Best

1533786_Triond-Banner-Ad_620

Published on Writinghood, Apr 20, 2011 Category - Writing

When Google Algorithm changed the views of my articles not only in Triond but also on other sites I am writing with including my blog sites have decreased drastically.

Looking at my Triond Traffic Geo Distribution – it records the following: China has garnered 32% of my audience, and then followed by Saudi Arabia 24%. Before United States was my number one audience, it garnered 62% to 65% of the total views – now it records 13%, and then followed by Taiwan 11%, Republic of Korea 9%, Philippines which is my country 6% and India 5%.

My global audience are referred by the following referring sites: www.triond.com is still the number one referring site and then followed by www.webupon.com, www.trifter.com, www.computersight.com, www.google.com, www.socyberty.com, www.scienceray.com, www.writinghood.com, http://pruelpophoto.blogspot.com, and www.google.co.uk.

I don’t stop sharing my articles to other social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Google Buzz, iGoogle and other imaginable social networks including my blog sites at wordpress and blogger and sending them off to search engines like Bing, Google, Yahoo and AOL though still my views are not increasing well.

This analysis has taught me a lot and of course, I will not stop sharing my articles to social networks and to search engines but I will not just depend on them instead I will go back to basic way of sharing my articles. Before these hundreds of social networks came alive – we do share our articles and other stuff to our friends through email attachments. This old way of sharing for me is still the best.

When we send off articles to our yahoo contacts, hotmail contacts, Gmail contacts and AOL contacts - we are sending them personally as an invitation. Besides we know these people we are sharing to. We can ask them directly for their visits and comments and we can also request them to share them to their friends of friends if they are comfortable.

What Ingredients Needed to Cook a Good Entertaining and Profitable Short Story

Novel & Short Story Writer's Market

Image via Wikipedia

Published on AuthSpot, Apr 11, 2011 Category – Short Stories

In the late 1970s the short story was believed a dead genre. No one wrote or published short fiction anymore. But in the last forty years, short stories have enjoyed a stunning revival. Magazines are bulging with exciting new fiction and short story competitions popping up by the hundred. Now short story fiction is already a trend – not only for magazines, newspapers and books but also it had become a partly life of Internet. There are thousand of websites working so hard to attract fiction writers like Triond. This article will guide you some important points needed to enhance your short fiction writing capabilities. Bear with me.

Finished dishes can look amazing – especially if a top chef has lavished time and effort on them. But although the colors, tastes, textures and shapes all blend together to provide a treat for the senses, the chef has not used paranormal skills to create the feast. All he has done is use ordinary ingredients plus a little experience and easily following cooking techniques.

The same is true for short story writing. You may not be able to re-create every nuance of the haunting prose of highly experienced writers that only comes with years of practice – but there is no reason why you cannot write stories that are technically competent, containing all the right ingredients in the correct amounts and in the correct order.

In order to cook a good entertaining and profitable short story – one should need the following ingredients:

(1) You need a single narrative thread. Because the space in a short story is so limited perhaps as little as 850 words to 1,200 words – there is not time to explore the stories of several different characters or at how your main character reacts in a series of different environment. You would need to stick to one storyline and do not deviate from it.

(2) You need a short timescale. All the best short stories are tightly focused on one storyline covering no more than a few days. The most gripping yarns recounts events happening to your hero in a few crucial hours.

(3) You need only one mood, pace and style. A short story should have the same feel throughout. It should not start as an emotionally packed tale of grief then suddenly switch to knockabout comedy. It should not speed up and slow down erratically or switch from a tightly written story with short, punchy sentences and simple vocabulary to a flowing, languorous piece of prose oozing baroque expressions and overblown imagery.

(4) You need brief descriptions. A short story is not the place to show off your descriptive skills. Long descriptions kill the pace and divert the reader’s attention from the plot. Always aim to get the maximum effect with the minimum number of words.

(5) You need minimum background information. Only give the background information that is relevant to the plot. The trick is to maintain a good balance between keeping information tight and giving enough relevant facts about a character so that the reader can visualize him.

(6) You need at least four character or less. Think how difficult it is to remember all the names of people you are introduced to at a party. That is the problem the reader has if you populate your stories with a huge cast of characters. Two is an ideal that allows you to use dialogue as they talk and react to each other. Three is great for eternal triangle tales but four is really the limit.

(7) Avoid sub-plots, hidden morals or sub text. Keep it simple. Tell the story in the most direct form possible and do not try to be too clever or erudite. The plot is of paramount importance so do not allow anything to interfere with the swift and smooth telling of the narrative.

(8) Avoid lengthy run-up or wind-down. The most common reason why short stories fail to grab the reader is that some fiction writers waste those precious first few sentences in setting the scene. Instead of getting the story off and running, they hold everything up by having an unnecessary description of the weather or the town where the story is taking place or the main character’s mood, his appearance and his family. What you need is to get into the plot right from the first sentence.

(9) You need taut and punchy dialogue. There is little point having an enticing title and an attention-grabbing intro if every time your main character speaks he sends your reader to sleep. Dialogue has to be fast-paced, exciting and dramatic.

(10) You need as few points of view as possible. A short story tells what happens when the main character faces a certain set of events. View those events through his eyes and his eyes only. Don not start viewing the action from another character’s perspective. When a story works well, it usually has a single viewpoint with the reader imagining himself as the hero.

(11) In you story show it that the main character is facing up a conflict. Whatever the conflict is: low key or highly dramatic - it must put your main character on the plot. It must worry him. It should force him into acting in extreme or unusual ways and should pose a moral or physical dilemma.

(12) Your plot will start at the point of conflict. The plot should begin when the main player faces his dilemma and it should end when the decision has been taken and the threat has been neutralized by him.

(13) You fiction writer avoid resolving the conflict that is happening in your story by yourself. Let the character resolves his own conflicts. And do not let him off the hook by having a lucky twist of fate rescue him from his impending doom. A good fiction is about how human beings react to challenge – about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Scienceray.com is The Top Among The Referring Sites

Here Comes Science

Published on Writinghood, Mar 27, 2011 Category - Writing

For a month now Scienceray.com is the top among the referring sites recorded on my control panel. I have seven articles published on this site.

How old are You Today? Happy Birthday was published on December 23, 2010 and received 107 views and 0.14 cents. Then followed How Many Days You Take Off Work During The Year 2010 which was published on December 27, 2010. This article received at least 62 views and 0.09 cents of earnings

On February 1, 2011 – Six Plus Five Equals Nine was published. It received 49 views and 0.04 cents of earnings. Followed by The Most Versatile Branch of Science is Mathematics which was published on the same date. It received 43 views and 0.03 cents of earnings.

On March 6, 2011 – How Do Numbers Tell Our Life Paths, Our Expressions and Our Heart Desires–part One was published. It received at least 505 views and 0.27 cents of earnings. On March 7, 2011 – I published two articles How Do Numbers Tell Our Life Paths, Our Expressions and Our Heart Desires–part Two. This article received 196 views and 0.14 cents of earnings to date. And How Do Numbers Tell Our Life Paths, Our Expressions and Our Heart Desires–part Three. It received at least 349 views and 0.22 cents of earnings.

If this article is approved this will be my 104th article. To date my journal has recorded approximately 6,249 views so far. Out of these views 1,311 are credited to the seven articles published at Scienceray.com which is equivalent to 20% of the total views. And the remaining 80% will be determined for the remaining 96 articles. This is awesome result and not bad for a newbie.

Will You Plagiarize My Works

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.

The Art of Sharing of Our Awesome Articles to Our Blog Sites

Published on Webupon, Mar 26, 2011 Category – Search Engines

There are many ways how we can share our awesome articles to our blog sites - either by sharing the whole context of the article, the URL link of the article or the RSS feeds of our articles from the paying sites we are contributing. A while ago, I found an interesting way to share my articles to my blog site and I would like to share it to others.

It is understood that the purpose of sharing of our articles to our blog sites is to get traffics and views and inviting visitors, networked of friends and readers to visit the site where our articles are published.

Recently, I created a new blog site My Article Photo Blog hosted by blogger. My purpose for this blog – this will showcase all my articles published at the different paying sites. This means I don’t need anymore to write article blog for my newly blog site instead, I will just use those published articles found at the different websites that published my articles through by sharing them to my blog site.

My blog site has some features like YouTube videos, audio and some links like Dictionary, Thesaurus, Translator, Encyclopedia and other interesting links plus Google ad sense and Amazon. I created it with love before submitting it to Google search engine, Bing, Yahoo, AOL and other search engines. Also I connected it to other giant social networks like Facebook, Twitter and many more.

This is now the thrill. You can share your articles published at Triond and other paying sites to your blog sites through a new method – by turning your articles into photo blogging. Remember a photo speaks a million words.

This is what you would do for your effective article sharing:

  • Look for a photo that will describe about your article.
  • There are free photos available in the Internet.
  • Do not use photo which is a copy righted.
  • You can find them at Wikipedia/Wikimedia under creative commons.
  • You can find them at Flickr owned by Yahoo under creative commons.
  • If there are no available photos on those sites – use your own photo collections.
  • Write a short summary about your article underneath the photo you used.
  • Include the URL link of the article below the summary for the “Full Story”.
  • Look at the photos I included with this article and examine them.
  • Visit My Article Photo Blog – to see what I am trying to tell you are true – to get an idea.

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

Image via Wikipedia

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.

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.
  9. Online Income – by blogging and writing awesome articles to paying sites earn income.
  10. Paid To Write – writing reviews for anything, web contents including awesome blogging for paying sites.
  11. Philosophy – everyone lives and guided with norms and philosophy.
  12. Saudi Arabia – the pot of fortune and one of the biggest country oil producers in the world.
  13. Self-Improvement – everybody needs this for our health, life style and many more.
  14. Sex Education - to correct misconceptions about sex and for healthy living.
  15. Society – the world without society is a dead darkened bedroom and no life at all.
  16. Thoughts – everyone has many wonderful thoughts, ideas and opinions to share to the world.
  17. Triond – the place for our awesome blogging, awesome photos, awesome videos and awesome income.
  18. Twitter – a social network with more than 200 million users where to share our awesome articles. 
  19. Virtue – man is the highest form of animal in this planet - born with virtues that need to be cultivated.

How to Plotting Your Story--part Three

How To :: Purl

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category – How To

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 Two

Published on Socyberty, Feb 12, 2011 Category – Psychology

It is important to realize that there is no right or wrong way to plot a story – just different ways. As long as your tale holds the reader’s attention, entertains and delights, then the method you use to achieve this end is as valid and effective as anyone else’s.

Some people do all the hard work in their heads, mulling over ideas, developing them, trying out different permutations until they come up with a workable storyline and then rush to write them as swiftly as possible.

To add the flavor a story should show conflict which is about anything or anyone that upsets the smooth-running of your main character’s life. It can be internal such as a crisis of faith, a fear to be overcome or a problem created by a flaw in the character’s own personality.

Good drama looks at what happens when the extraordinary occurs. It shows how people react unusual and unexpected circumstances. Aim for a nail-biting finish. Keep the reader holding his breath until the last word.

The more you place your hero in jeopardy the stronger the tension. Tingling anticipation and dread will hold readers glued.

How to Plotting Your Story--part One

Cain leads Abel to death

Published on Writinghood, Feb 12, 2011 Category - Writing

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.

Views and Earnings From Declined Articles

It's no use crying over spilled milk

Image by cheesy42 via Flickr

Published on HealthMad, Feb 5, 2011 Category – Writing Tips

An abusively said phrase "Don’t cry over spilled milk" is something for us to think about and get its message. Last February 2, 2011, I submitted two articles to Triond but unfortunately they were declined. This article will tell you how did I get views and earnings from those declined articles.

Early morning of February 2, 2011, I submitted two articles about Natural Remedy to Cut Prostate Cancer Risk and Hail in Holy Qur’an The Major Factor in Producing Lightning unfortunately they were declined.

Reasons for Declines: You have submitted duplicate content. We have found identical content already published online. You can only submit original content that has never before been published in whole or in part on the Internet. This includes duplicate items that you yourself have authored.

While reading the message from Triond’s Editorial Staff Team, my heart was beating faster and louder. I was almost shocked for knowing it at that very moment my two articles were rejected. In my thought – all what I have done for the whole night from research and written them to articles were all in vain.

That very moment I had to choose either (1) to leave those two articles at declined section or (2) to rewrite, polish them again and resubmit.

That very moment I had to chose number two. My reasons – I had spent so much time looking for the ideas for those articles. I spent much time to research them. I used different reading materials needed to support my articles. And after rewriting and polishing them out I resubmitted them to Triond and luckily they were approved and published at the same day.

Now these articles Natural Remedy to Cut Prostate Cancer Risk and Hail in Holy Qur’an The Major Factor in Producing Lightning are available at those sites powered by Triond and are already attracting traffics and visitors.
