Two rules for writing

[Amber]

I keep a professional journal about my writing, which includes advice to myself on what works and what doesn't.  I thought what I wrote to  myself a few months ago was adorable.  It gets across the type of mentality you need not just to write but to do anything.  It is a mentality intent on mastering the specifics of reality, not trying to do more than it is is capable, but at the same time is always seeking to improve itself.  These are two rules I wrote to myself about writing:

Rule #1:  Write about what you know
Rule #2:  Know as much as you can

Speaking of my writing, check it out.  I have an archive now!!  http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/p/pawlik/03/

Wow.  It's pretty clear my message about life just looking at the titles of my articles.

But how can I get published?

Amber, do you get paid for your articles?

[Amber]

No, don't get paid.

But I will, someday.  Have to pay your dues, you know.

Since the topic of me evoking emotion in people came up, I thought this other tidbit of advice I gave to myself was appropriate.

"Don't 'try' to be stylish or convincing.  Stick to the facts.  Make your point.  Be simple, effortless and emotionless about it.  This will make it look poignant, forceful, and emotional."

Ha!

But how can I get published?

Three rules.  Submit, submit, submit.  Which of course, requires you to write, write, write.
