Does anyone know the rules on this? Should I not put any website addresses into an article? Or should I just avoid leaving embedded links?

My account is no longer suspended. I can log in. I sent an email asking for one more chance. I think I have improved as a writer in terms of organization and clarity since then.

Web Site Link Question

I have an article on pop music I was hoping to submit to CC. I had one writer look at it, and she noticed I left out a link. I know the rules on website links for CC. She thinks it would be okay unless it's a real link. But would just giving the address be wrong? For example, would saying popmusic.c...

Suspended?

I have been suspended before, but I was pretty surprised this time. I don't think I had reached the three rejection limit, so I am unsure of what to think. I wrote support twice in the past three weeks to no response, and would just like to know the problem. I have learned so much and had a lot of f...

Any Experience in Self-Publishing A Book?

Hi guys, I decided to ask my question here. I am in the midst of writing a non-fiction book. My initial aim is to self-publish this via Booklocker. One published writer told me that was a great choice, another writer told me to consider another publisher like Lulu. I have done a bunch of studying an...

Former writer asking for second chance because of suspension

Hi, I have sent two emails in the past week to Constant asking to be reinstated. I was suspended because of too many rejections and not appearing to take them seriously. I hope for a second chance. I had many articles accepted but far more rejected. I was not suspended for a glaring error like plagi...

Any Regular Freelancers Here? Question on writing markets

I love my content sites, but I have decided to make more attempts at traditional publications. Here is the thing. I am not sure a freelance writing career is viable for me, and was hoping someone could help me with markets. I have the 2007 Writer's Market and the 2005 Writer's Handbook. It just seem...

Newbie Asks A Question On What Sells

I suppose I could just do some research on what sells here, but you guys have been very helpful on the forums. I am still a newbie. More than half my articles submitted have been rejected. But, only one has sold. This was one i sold cheap because it was a reprint. My question is this: What are the t...

What is your strategy on full rights?

I am grateful so many writers are willing to help others here. In the spirit of that I had a question. What is your strategy on full rights? I read an article on AC where the writer said to have the full rights be just short of twice the amount of usage (On CC articles of course). I do not use uniqu...

She did sell ten billion articles (or was it nine?). I do have one question that may be easy. What if we do find such an article stolen? Do we tell Constant? My paranoid mind wants to know.

Would Comic Book Articles sell?

I am fairly new to CC. One article sold, three total posted. I love writing about comic books, and have published over a dozen on Associated. I did some of my own research on the site and did a search for comic book articles. I did not see one usage sale. Is that a hint? The thing with associated is...

Would trust be an issue here? I think I will follow the idea to post the entire article all the time. If it works I won't question it. Just wondered if the ideas or article might be stolen. I have yet to fall victim to such a thing, but that's paranoia talking. I know CC says they police such things.

Thanks

All I needed to hear. That was what I assumed. The blog addresses within the article, but I found nothing on the actual headline. Thanks for the help, writewell.

A Question on Titles

I just submitted an article with a title of a film in it. I know in basic journalism it would go like 'Army of Darkness' in the actual title of the article. Or is it "Army of Darkness" Allow me to explain. I know within the article it will be "Army of Darkness" but the article wa...

Wave Tiff, Thanks Celeste

Thanks, Celeste. That was the encouragement I needed. I will work on the letters for CC.
Hey tiff! It's Tiffany right? I do remember you. Out to make the big bucks on CC? (Waves back).
