Thanks jak, I appreciate your input. 600 words seem ok for web reading.

Will get to work, then!

Cheers,
Mariana

Thanks Ed :-)

As a piece of advice, how many words do you think a blog entry should have?


Thanks and regards,
Mariana

Hi Ed,

I was interested in submitting blog entries for sale. Where can I find the writing guidelines for the blog posts?

Thanks and regards,
Mariana

Hi, As a non-native English writer, I thought I'd give also my 2 euro cents (hi hi!) to this discussion. I'm a good writer in Portuguese, my native language; I'm a good writer in Spanish, my third language; and in my second language (English), I've surprised several clients who are weary of trusting...

Hi Grouchy!

Thanks so much for your reply!And thanks for not wanting me suspended...neither do I want that lol!
My messenger address is now next to my nickname, so add me to yours if you want to, so we can talk about it.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Best regards,
Mariana

Hi! As a non-native English writer, I sometimes find it very hard to do the proofreading by myself. I'd like to know if there is anybody out there who would like to give me hand with it. I'd review the first draft, and then I'd send the text to someone who would do a final review of the text, just t...

Hi Grouchy, The article genre you are talking about is like an editorial, or opinion article. It can be perfectly done without the first-person address, and usually it is written by someone who's an expert on a specific topic. It's up to the managers of CC to decide whether there is a niche of clien...

Hi, Well, I go through that feeling of insecureness about what to write every day! I'm thinking about a million topics at a time, and for a while, I really had a hard time developing one good topic. Now that I'm pursuing a career as a freelancer, writing in English, I decided to discipline myself th...

Hi, I've submitted just a few minutes ago an article on a British band called The Clientele. It's a medium-size piece, as I usually aim at 1000 / 1200 words per article. This one has almost 800 words. I'm a bit rusty lately. I guess I've spent too much time doing odd jobs, and not really writing pro...

Hi, Well, I've reviewed the article, did the appropriate changes but... now I'm not sure on which category to submit it! The article is about spending the summer in the city, and it's a series of suggestions on how to spend your time in such circumstances. I thought I'd upload it to Articles - Holid...

Hi Ed,

Of course. Thanks for the quick reply.

When I see that the article is ready, I'll resubmit.

Regards,
Mariana

Hi, I've had two articles rejected now, because I didn't read the submitting rules before I proposed them. I'm reviewing one of them now, based on your suggestions and now also under the regulations. Since this is going to be the third submission I'm placing here, if you reject this one, are going t...

Hi from Spain! I'm new here too, and I really like CC so far. CC seems to be that it is a place where real freelancing can be done: instead of bidding on a client's project, and be bound to it, you also have the option to submit articles you want to write, and sell them if there are people intereste...

Hi, I think I've watched too many "american movies", ihihihihihihihih! In Portugal, all foreign tv shows are subtitled, so people usually get a grasp of the language quite easily. Besides, my favorite writers are American or British, and instead of buying the translated books, I make a poi...

Well, as I thought... one down, another to go. Thanks for you reply, Jak. I'm thinking about doing something like an express travel article about Spain, for starters; I was thinking that it might be interesting to list cities worth visiting in Spain, from north to south, and describe them in 2-3 par...
