Alan, honey. I plan on starting a blog that has only my writings on there. Is there any way I can get it copyrighted?
I can always use my blog to sell an ebook and hook it up to a paypal account so I can get paid whenever someone buys my book. *lightbulb goes off and cracks*
As a journalism major, I adhere to those rules when it comes to reporting the facts. As a creative writer, I like to push the limits on writing and break the rule when it's warranted. Yes, writing is an art, but also a lot of people don't realize how far a little editing and proofread goes when one wants to write a correspondence letter or any other professional document for the work place. You wouldn't want to use abbreviations and slang in an email to your boss or a letter to the editor. Again, time and place for everything, including writing.

I'm getting off my soapbox now.
July 29 at columbia College in Chicago. I went last year and had a blast! This year, I'm taking my mom.
I have to find my Texas pics for this story? Alright, I have a few tidbits from my experience there I can string together into a story.
cool. I have writer's digest bookmarked already so I'll take a look.
I wonder if they take previously published material. I can submit my musing to the site.
I know about this group. They have a party every year here where you can get lots of free swag, free food, and free alcohol.
I'll check it out, too. I wonder if they take pictures from amateur photographers.
the bulk of my short stories aren't 1000 words, bit I'll try it and see what happens.
I'm about to send them something. I'll let you know what they say.
I think I have a few stories that qualify. Didn't see where adult-themed stories are accepted.
