How Tough is It?

Not the Steak or the Roast. I am talking about Writin' Stuff for
you Folks. One of my favorite things besides fishin' is passing
along good information in our Ezines and Writin' for other ones.

Why did I say Fishin' and Writin'? Well, sometimes it is as hard
to come up with great content as it is to catch 12 pound Bass.
When I first started Writin' professionally it was about Fishin'.
Oh, I almost forgot, There is no such word as Fishing or Writing.
It is really Fishin' and Writin'. Fishin' and Writin' are among
most enjoyable pass times. If it were Fishing, or Writing it
would be like Working, Shopping or those other "ing" words that
aren't much fun.

That's nice, Mike but what is the point? I'm glad you asked. Now
I get to tell you. Whether you are Writin' an article, E-Book or
Novel, you have to have fun doing it. Yup, you can start Writin'
just like me (well not "just" like me. That would violate
Copyright laws) and create your own information products. It's
not as hard as you might think (or is it?). Sometimes it is hard
to start an article and find an idea to write about. This is an
example. I just couldn't get the juices flowing this week. But,
bingo. The idea for explaining Writin' came to me.

The most important thing to remember is that you have to like
your subject and Know what it is about. If you know anything
about anything and can fog a mirror (that is how a coroner
determines if you are breathing), hit the keys on the keyboard,
and get your ideas together, you can be a writer.

You don't need a degree in journalism or language. What you do
need are ideas, the ability to put them on paper (electronic or
other) and put your personality with your Writin'. Now it is
something you can enjoy. That is the Key, to enjoy your Writin'.
When it is Writing, it is a chore. Now really, if you didn't
enjoy my articles and E-Books, you wouldn't be reading this,
right?

One thing I do encourage is to borrow ideas from other people.
Don't steal them, that is plagiarism, but take ideas from them.
What the Internet needs is good Writin' that folks will enjoy and
benefit from. I don't have a lot of time for reading and if you
don't make it interesting, enjoyable and fun, I won't bother
putting my time into reading it. Wonderful thing, the delete key.
I don't even have to go out in the snow (dirty 4 letter word) to
get rid of all the junk paper.

When I wrote "E-Books the Easy Guide" one of the key things I did
was to make sure folks would enjoy the time they put into reading
it. I follow the same rule with all of my Writin'. Maybe this is
why so many of my article submissions get accepted by other
Ezines. OK, I needed to give myself a little pat on the back :-)

You probably wear a lot of hats just like me. Running your
E-Business, marketing, advertising, building websites or what
ever your business is. Gail and I run 4 sites, 3 Ezines and have
do much of that for others. Still in all, the best communication
we have with folks like you is our Writin'. We write, you read,
we make a friend and a new client. It just can't get any better
than that. WE know because of all the replies we get from you
folks telling us how we are doing.

So with all of this in mind, download my E-Books, read my
articles, borrow my ideas, have fun Writin' and most of all, when
you can, go Fishin'. Here is a little gift for you. I have a fun
little E-Book called "Funny Fishin' Stuff". I guarantee you will
get some laughs from it and maybe even some great ideas of your
own. best of all, it is Free. You can download it here.
