. Write it using a text editor like Notepad - that's how many editors prefer to receive submissions.

~*~Writing Tips~*~

. Write like you talk. Be conversational in your writing. If you can hold a conversation, you can write.

. After writing your first draft, leave it to 'fallow' then start on your next article.

. Never submit your first draft. Rewrite it after a day or two.

. Spell check thoroughly. Check for grammar errors too. Get someone else to read through it if you can - they may pick up something you've missed.

. Obey submission guidelines (it's so important, hence my repeating it here)

. Write something everyday. Even if it's just a personal journal entry, just write. It'll get you intorepparttar 104931 habit, and keep you creative.

I didn't quite expect this 'tip' to turn into a full blown article! But hey, I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you've enjoyed reading it.

If you have then start writing today.

And start submitting.
