Kungfu Hustle is the best comedy on this decade, don't you think?

do you work on more than one writing project at a time?

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10386) • United States 20 Sep 09

jb78000 i think most genres have some kind of formula but romances are definitely particularly bad for this. i know because i used to have a neighbour who was addicted and was always passing the ones she'd finished with on to me. i read a few when i got very bored...

This Book Changed My Life

TomAustin @TomAustin (18) • United States 12 Sep 09

When I was a kid, I saw the Ralph Bakshi animated adaptation of "The Hobbit." It was so fun, so exciting and melancholy at the same time. That prompted me to read the book. I loved it even more than the movie. If they had only...

i was wondering about paid articles

absolutluv @absolutluv (8) • United States 8 Sep 09

when i write it, and they pay, who retains the rights? is it ethical to sell the same article to multiple sites? the internet is a hugely large, and highly unllikely that an article that i wrote would show up in the same place...

Suite 101?

crimsonladybug @crimsonladybug (3112) • United States 31 Aug 09

Does anyone have any insight on this site? You have to fill out an application to be a writer, which I haven't seen on any other writing site. Do they give you assignments or are you on your own to write whatever you want like...

Do you do Associated Content "calls for content"?

AnythngArt @AnythngArt (3302) • United States 19 Aug 09

Occasionally I look over the calls for content on the account page of Associated Content. Usually they are just for performance payment and not upfront. Do you participate in these? What is the benefit? Are the page views really...

AnythngArt Poor thing! Can you imagine sitting around waiting for the "call for content" topics? That's the thing with any of these writing sites...and why I appreciate MyLot so much (where I can ask other authors questions)...it's not always clear how they work unless...

Can I get in trouble for typing a magazine article up into my blog?

coltonshane @coltonshane (3) • United States 10 Aug 09

I want to put some articles I have read onto my blog and give credit to the writer but I don't know if I can get in trouble. It would be word for word and even have the writers name and where the article came from so it should be...

macdingolinger You need to contact the magazine first and find out about copyrights. You also need to contact the writer of the article. It is infringement of copyright laws to retype it into your blog even if you give credit, from my undestanding It really also depends on...
