Today my writing score on Helium is 77%. I should have three stars but...

Well after I posted those last articles my score instantly went back up. I haven't posted anything new for several days and now it is on the way down again. I just know if I don't do something before the weekend I'll lose the third star again (sigh). The thing is I just don't have a lot of time right now and I can't really focus in to complete 400 words.

I have over 200 articles on Helium, many of which are in the top 25%, I have a writing score of around 65% and not a single writing star. I'm always getting positive feedback from other members, yet nothing changes. I'm earning a respectable monthly income from my articles, and that is the bottom line. I don't worry about the stars any more. I suppose if I leapfrogged a few articles, my score would go up, but I'd rather write new stuff. My highest earning article on Helium, which has earned over $10, is consistently ranked 3 of 3, yet it earns more every month than the rest of them put together. Does anyone understand the Helium star system? It's a mystery to me!

You fret too much over this stuff! Relax, write for the fun of it, if you put it on Helium good for you. Stop letting their bogus ratings get to you! Heck, your score is better than mine and I have twice the amount of articles. Although my creative writer score rocks.

Hi Mommaj, I think some wires short-circuit inside your big head. You will either get the third writing star with a writing score of 85% and above or write another 47 articles to bring the total non-creative articles to 100. How come you have so few articles in Helium and have nearly 900 articles in AC? I thought you are going to rewrite some of the older articles and submit to Helium?
