I really hate article writing since I was in elementary. Even writing poems is not my type. I usually write just to express my thoughts and feelings particularly when I am sad. Also, I only love to write short stories but when it comes to article writing? Hands up for it!
But when I started joining some online article writing websites and applying online jobs, I have regretted to neglect article writing. Most of the online jobs are looking for article writers, whether in part-time or full-time. Even though I have tried to submit an article, it didn't qualify their standards. Even in Triond, my submitted articles are always disapproved. Maybe because my articles are not really articles but it seems like a diary or a discussion just like this.
I really want to improve my writing skills but I guess I am not really good at it. I hope I can turn back time so that I can join the workshop before.

It's never too late Sittie.
I too, never prioritize writing before. It just so happen when I discover that I can earn by writing online then I write and write till I get better. Well, actually I started a silly blog. First my posts there was basically just not constructed right, I mean the words/phrases and sentences then after blogging for 2 years now, I have improved my writing skills.
You know, if you just set your mind to it, you will and you can do it! I promise you that! :) Just keep trying!

Awww. That's so sweet. Thank you :)
Have you tried Triond? I really find it hard to submit my content because it isn't unique and of good quality.

I was at triond but haven't really gotten into it, and my articles where accepted, I just didn't enjoy the feel of it.

Why aren't you happy? Isn't it an achievement that Triond is approving your articles? If I were you I will be very glad. :)

Hi sittie!
You can still develop that skill. The way I see it you got a good command in English. Isn't it that you just don't follow their guidelines that is why your article was rejected? Or maybe it was just disorganize. Even a simple conversation can be a good article.
Take a look at it again. You can also try Expertscolumn. Based on some articles that I've read comparing these two sites, EC is better in terms of earning and generating views.
Have a nice day!

It's never too late to hone your writing skills. Getting on here and discuss stuff is already a practice. And while it is in the guidelines that we can all discuss and make our own mistakes in grammar or spelling without being corrected, by interacting with the rest of the members you get to practice. You can also start a blog. Most platforms are free to use. Start now, and you'll see.

Hi ! I believed anything can be learnt if one have the spirit of willingness . Nothing is impossible if you really want it ! You don't have to be an expert to be writing here , all you need are that sincerity , hard work and constant practice . If one kept on practicing , not far from being an expert someday ! Join now in discussion. All the best !

I am one of those that believe that article writing is not only an art but also a gift but I would rather you try reading some books on better article writing and practice on your own. I'm sure you will find it fun writing articles.

There are several ways to build up your writing skills:
1) Reading other articles already written by other users.
2) The practise: as more you write as more your articles will improve.
3) Make a research on internet about how to write articles. There you may find some usefull information.
I also started to write and to public articles, as it's an interesting way to earn more money or to have an extra income. This can become like a work at home job.

Yeah. I hate it as well. I can do creative writing, poetry, reviews, but my favourite thing is diary writing, which of course has no commercial value whatsoever. Articles, not so much. I did write some on psychology and self-improvement, but I don't think they were very good. I don't want to offend anybody here or elsewhere, but I feel that many people write these articles on false pretences. They make themselves appear like experts, when they hardly know anything about their topic.

My interest is not into writing too. Whenever we have writing stuff in school I am always staring at my paper most of the time and just write anything in my head when the given time is about to end. I don't take writing seriously but that was before. Now writing is my way to earn extra cash online so I am now serious squeezing all the juices in my brain just to publish random articles.

It is not a matter of feel nervous if you can not write same articles everybody does not have every talent. I also the same i can not write good aritcles here but i never feel guilty because i have other talent. I can not write good articles but i have some other good stuffs, so no need to worry and just be happy.

Well, as you know you can't change the past, but you can change the future. Article writing is not as hard as it seems. If you really try you can write it.
Triond is a very good site for those who are experts in writing articles, but not for those who just begin writing articles. You should try ezinearticle.com for starting purpose. Its not pay you but it has a simple quality check and has a huge traffic which helps you to start writing articles and they also provide you with some great article writing tutorials by which you can easily learn what you miss at workshops.
Once you get expert and publish 4-7 articles you can go to triond or hubpage to earn some money. It takes some time of couple month depending on you, but finally you may earn money.
This is the same way how I started article writing 3 years ago. It work for me hope this will work for you.
