2). Shifting Deadlines By : Matthew C. Keegan
As a writer who works on multiple projects at any given time, I attempt to pin down a deadline from my clients even if one is not stated. Why? Because, the "I am in no hurry for these" statements invariably becomes, "are you done with the articles?" How embarrassing is that if I make the assumption that a project could be put off, especially if my client wants it now?
I have learned to do the following: as soon as I get a project I ask for a specific timeline for when the job should be completed.

3). Writing For Fun And Profit By : Deanna Mascle
Every writer dreams of the day when they can profit from their writing. While income opportunities abound for writers, each method has drawbacks.
Newspaper and magazine reporters can make a good living but their subject matter is often closely regulated and directed. Corporate writing can be even more lucrative but even more tightly controlled. Freelance writing offers more freedom but is also more uncertain.

4). The Source, Of Course By : Matthew C. Keegan
Writing “net friendly” articles does not mean we can automatically leave out any mention of our sources. There is a tendency for many writers to simply write their material and not cite their sources, particularly when it is obvious that a source has been quoted somewhere within the body of the article.
Generally, what I do when it comes time to mentioning sources for an internet article, I attempt to first find that information on the internet and, if it is there, I simply provide anchor links in my article back to that source.

5). The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe By : Matthew C. Keegan
It has taken me decades – literally – to finally pick up another C.S. Lewis book and read it. In high school I read Lewis’ book, “That Hideous Strength” and completely missed Lewis’ message. One decade later I read Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” and fully understood what Lewis was saying. With The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, part of C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia series, the gospel message is clearly made evident in an allegorical/mystical style.

6). 3 Key Points To Remember When Writing For The Web By : Deanna Mascle
While many writers are eager to write for the Internet, it is important to consider the key differences between writing for a traditional print audience and an Internet audience. Keeping these three points in mind will help you achieve success with your Internet writing ventures.

8). Maintaining Article Integrity By : Matthew C. Keegan
Inasmuch as I enjoy writing, I do not enjoy participating in schemes to create “templated” articles for other "authors" to use or misuse to their delight. Or, at the very least, to profit from my hard work!
On occasion, I am asked by a client to take someone else's article, make some changes, and make it their article. Quite frankly, this smacks of plagiarism.

9). Busted: 5 Writing Myths By : Deanna Mascle
One common element whenever human beings gather is the need to talk and share experiences. Often that need turns into something a little more fun, a little more dangerous -- gossip. Gossip is often fun but it can also be dangerous because it spreads quickly (because it is fun) and often distorts or even completely avoids the truth. Gossip creates myths in many fields and professions, and the field of writing is especially prone.

10). Why I Killed My Muse ... And You Should Too By : Deanna Mascle
Last night in the dark following midnight I killed my muse (suffocating her quietly with a pillow) and buried her in my back garden. Today I will plant a roses to hide the grave. No one will ever know and I will be free at last of her insidious hold and I will be able to write what I want.

11). How You Can Become A Better Writer By : Deanna Mascle
I have been writing professionally for more than two decades and teaching writing nearly that long. Every conference, every writing staff, and every class has always included some writer who asks: "How Can I Become A Better Writer?"
They don't usually like my answer. "Practice writing every day and read to study the writing of others every day."
They don't like the answer for one of two reasons usually.

12). Make A Lasting Impression With Your Writing By : Deanna Mascle
An important element of writing essays and articles that many writers overlook is a powerful conclusion. A conclusion is one of the most important aspects of your essay because it is the last words your reader will receive from you. Do you want your conclusion to be forgettable or would you rather make a lasting impression on your reader?
Your conclusion is your final opportunity to drive your message home to the reader and to emphasize the most important points you wanted to make.

13). Article Writing and Clients: When Things Do Not Work Out By : Matthew C. Keegan
In each of my business relationships, I expect that mutual respect and trust be essential ingredients in my association with the other individual. If one or both traits do not exist, then the relationship shouldn’t proceed any further.
So, what do you do when you have an uncomfortable or odd feeling about working for someone, but you can’t put your.

14). Article Shelf Life: Getting the Most Out of What You Write By : Matthew C. Keegan
I admit that the internet is definitely for the “here and now.” Always changing, what may be popular one day may be irrelevant the next. A den of “fast track fads” is what the internet has become. Still, if you are an article writer, you know that the web content you provide for your customers today must have an extended shelf life with it, otherwise your customers lose out and your reputation sinks.

15). From Blog to Article By : Matthew C. Keegan
As a writer, do you sometimes/often/always find yourself at a loss as to what to write next? No, I am not talking about topics or subjects you already have nailed down. Rather, the simple desire to get started with something, anything to break the brain logjam. It could be a personal project or something you want to develop to show to a potential client the stuff that you are made of.

16). Why Should You Be Writing For The Internet? By : Deanna Mascle
I have been writing professionally for more than two decades. I have worked as a professional writer and editor for newspapers, books and magazines for local, regional, and international audiences. My primary financial support has always been either professional writing (or editing) or the teaching of writing. In fact, my initial foray into writing for the Internet was not intended to be a profitable venture but rather a way to express myself when I made the transition to teaching writing full-time.

17). Is Writing a Skill, Craft, or Gift? By : Deanna Mascle
Whenever you gather writers together they talk about writing. There are many different types of writers. Those who prefer to compose in long-hand or can only write on an old-fashioned manual typewriter. Those who write to music, demand complete silence, or create best surrounded by noise. You have the writers who must plan and outline before they can begin and those who find even talking about a project before it is drafted can stifle their creativity.

19). Do You Know How To Build A Better Body By : Deanna Mascle
As both a writer and writing instructor I often tout the importance of introductions and conclusions, however it does not do to overlook the body of your article or essay. After all, no matter how intriguing your introduction or how compelling your conclusion, if the body of your essay falls flat then you will have failed as a writer.
Creating a powerful, effective body for your essay or article is not challenging if you plan carefully, write meaningfully, and revise repeatedly.

20). Writing Articles: Pinpoint Accuracy By : Matthew C. Keegan
This may not be a politically correct analogy, but if you were to shoot off a cruise missile from 200 miles away you would want it to hit your target, am I correct? The same can be said for an article writer -- the substance of any article is very important, but an article misses the mark if it doesn't do what you intend it to do: that is, bring about a call to some sort of action, i.

21). Make A Great First Impression By : Deanna Mascle
When was the last time you gave your readers a reason to devour your writing? If you suspect you aren't capturing your readers as you should then you need to work on your introductions.
As the old saying goes: You never get another chance to make another first impression. This is even more true for introducing your essay or article than it is for introducing yourself.

23). Helping Clients Overcome “Their” Writer’s Block! By : Matthew C. Keegan
If you write for a living, that is, if you write articles for clients you often have heard about writer’s block. Personally, I think the topic is overdone and simply something that comes about when the author is too tired, distracted, or simply not interested in the topic at hand [oh, yes…this does happen!] On the other hand, do your clients sometimes.
