I'm Gonna Be a Writer!

[Ovedya]

A couple of days ago I submitted two of my best blog articles to a website called "Rafters (Jump On)". the site itself is sort of [not] like a blog. Rafters accepts articles from would-be writers and displays them on their website in order to take "votes" from the general public (Or other "rafters," or other potential rafters). Depending on the number of votes received, the Rafters reviewers (their staff) will decide if the would-be writer is good enough, popular enough, to become an <i>official</i> "rafter."

So here's my plea:

1. Go Here: http://www.rafterjumpon.com/view_rafters.php5?id=2761

2. Read the two articles there.

3. If you like them, click on the little "thumbs-up" icon in the upper-right hand corner.

This could be a potential for me to make a little money, so the more votes I get the better.

Thank you!

P.S. If you want to give me some feedback here I would greatly appreciate it. It's been a long time since I've written anything, so I could use some pointers.

I gave them a thumbs up.

aw, it only lets me do the thumbs up once

The articles were really good, and while the first one didn't apply to me, i found it highly informative! I'm only 18, but I think even late teenagers and people in their early 20s have this hidden away fear of that. Really awesome!! The first line of the first article kind of threw me, just the wording, but considering that's just a personal issue (my family would put sailors to shame with the cursing)... that's nothing against you or the article, it was a good peice.

Then... the 5 seecond rule? My favorite lol I especailly love the last part about if someone ELSE says "ew, gross" then it must be thrown away... "disdain"! awesome diction! It was a serious topic, yet had a bit of humour to it because so MANY of us have done that very thing, or have been in those particular situations. Beautiful peice .

Thanks, Crys.

Yeah, about that first line....

When I submitted the article it had to be between 200 and 500 words. As it was I had cut out nearly 1/3 of the article, but could still only get it down to, like, 90. I didn't catch the first line, though. Oh well, people like it when you're "edgy."

Thanks for the feedback. Keep 'em coming!

Brother - your writing is good. I'm glad you're finally doing something with it.
