Writing Reality
The first advice ever given to me when I began to write in my teens was;
‘Don’t NOT write something because your Grandma might read it; You won’t ever be a successful writer if half your head is always focused on what others may think of you because of what you have written.’
I draw on this always when I find myself pulling back and trying to be politically correct or polite in my writing. A reader knows when writing is stilted or full of pretence, grow bored and never read you again.
Draven Ames, horror author of upcoming book, Bullets Till Midnight writes about just this in his latest article here. [http://dravenames.blogspot.com/2010/11/be-real.html]

Your website looks tight. You have some writing skills. I bring in $10-$50 each blog story I put up. It is a nice way to bring in extra cash in the current economy. The business I work for has a lot of openings if you are interested.

Hi, I will look into it when I’ve a little more time & think it over – thanks!
Thankyou for the referral, but having looked into it further, this website (http://WritersWanted.com) is of no interest to me. For other readers interested in checking Writers Wanted out, here are a few online reviews I found:

As a published writer I have sufficient experience in the publishing world to offer any writer, new or established, this sage piece of advice: Anyone who asks for money upfront in order to pay you later – avoid. A legitimate publisher is not an agency and requires no upfront fees. As a writer, you write to be paid, not the other way around.
