It’s easy to understand how writer/family clash occurs. Writing is a very solitary profession which demands a great deal of time. Being in a family is a very social profession which demands a great deal of time. But understanding it doesn’t solve it.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could combine two? Well, I think you can. You can do things that will improve your writing and provide you with quality time with your family. Try these ideas on for size:

1). Get your family to read out book for you. This will really help your editing, because nothing brings out awkward sentences and bad dialogue like human voice. “Aw, Mum, no one would say that in real life. They’d say, ‘Sod off!’” “Start with, ‘You’ll never catch me, Mr Slocum. Apart from your absolute inability to find your own big toe, you don’t have skills and you don’t have talent.’"

I've written and published over 30 articles in SmallBizBits and other publications online. I've also published family parenting articles, several romance articles, and a dozen travel articles in print media. When I first approached Internet market I was unsure if same article format was acceptable on Internet.

So, I certainly understand when new article writer's say they don't know how to approach Internet crowd with their material. Or exactly how to structure their articles properly.

Here's a few important things to consider:

First you must know popular article types.

-The List Article. -The How To Article. -The Information Article. -Combination Of All The Above.

The List Article is written to answer a specific problem. One problem might be what software is available to fight spammers(email sent by unscrupulous marketers). You would start with your lead statement, background, and then list top ten software programs available, with a brief description and link to web site. Then, stop after end of list or wrap it up with a thoughtful quote or whatever is appropriate.

The How To Article is written to show reader how to handle a specific problem. Let's use spam (unsolicited e-mail) as our very popular topic. In this type of article you would start with a brief introduction, background sentences and list specific instructions on how to fight spam. For instance detailed instructions on setting up spam filters in your email program. Then wrap your article up with a quote or other appropriate conclusion.
