Thanks for the suggestions!
I guess at the moment I'm feeling unqualified to write anything. I feel like I couldn't write anything that anyone would want to read.
Obviously going through a pessimistic stage!

Need Some Help
Hi I'm relatively new here, I've been here for almost a year but only posted 4 articles none of which have sold. I am now struggling to write another article. I look at the requested content list but nothing ever jumps out and says 'You can do this one!'. I keep looking for inspiration but I feel co...

Re: Singular they - subjects and matching pronouns
I think turning it into a plural might be better. It is too impersonal for me.
Thanks for the help.

Singular they - subjects and matching pronouns
Hi I've called my thread this because I'm afraid I don't know the correct terminology for the problem. This was touched upon on another recent thread. I've been writing an article about pets and a have a few sentences that are similar to this idea: Make sure your pet is kept inside because they will...

Re: Brand names, reviews etc.
Ah right, I don't remember seeing that bit.
Thanks Celeste, that makes things a lot easier.

Brand names, reviews etc.
Hi I'm sure I read somewhere about not being able to write promotional articles but what does that mean exactly? Can I write positive reviews? Can we mention brand names and write whole articles about a particular brand/model/product? For example I would like to write a car review which I assume wou...

Re: Request for authors not articles
Thanks Celeste
I haven't tried writing for a request yet so I wasn't sure how much contact we could have.

Request for authors not articles
Hi
There is a current request for authors and subjects but not for a specific article. How do we proceed with this?
Thanks

Rejections - how many?
Hi I know there is the 3-strike rule but I've also heard people say they give newbies leeway. So my question is this, my first 2 articles have come back needed revisions. If I send in another and that also needs revision does that mean I've used up all my chances? Someone else mentioned they'd be ha...

Re: Word Alternatives
Hi Celeste I know what you are saying but the idea is the same in a way. It could either be the culture or the religion that causes conflicts. It would be hard to differentiate between the two. I'm actually finding it hard to explain what I mean (not a good trait for a writer!). But for example, one...

Re: Word Alternatives
Hi I'm back again. I still haven't sorted out this article yet!! I keep changing my mind. But now I think I'm getting there. So, how about this for a title? Cross-cultural dating: overcoming the first few hurdles Also, in the article I talk about 2 main problems but it sort of looks like three and I...

Re: Word Alternatives
Hi Elizabeth
It's very kind of you to suggest those topics. I had thought of maybe doing one or two but maybe I should do a few more. I'm doing it from personal experience so that is why I thought it might be good idea!
Thanks
Sarah

Re: Word Alternatives
Thanks for all the help. The article wasn't just about the language difference but now I'm doubting whether what I've done is a good idea and maybe I should just stick to the language difference. :( Is there a limit to how long a title should be or do you self-impose a limit? I don't want anything t...

Re: Word Alternatives
Presumably the buyer can change the title? So the idea is to make it as obvious as possible as to what the article is about, rather than giving it something catchy?

Re: Word Alternatives
It's not for any country in particular, it's more to do with when you have a partner who speaks a different language. Foreigner never used to be a problem but I'm not sure now. The problem is that the alternatives are so wordy.
