THE BAD NEWS.... I have started to do my article and its been harder than i thought it would be. When I was in High School 15 years ago my wife, girlfriend at the time did most of my papers for me. I was more of a pubilc speaker than writer. I will be done in a couple days and will get you guys to look at it and see if its up to par. I dont want to hold down this newsletter.
THE GOOD NEWS... Its very hard to hurt my feelings and I am a fast learner. So I hope this worring is for nothing and with a little knowlegde I contiune to be a part of this team.

Now that I feel like a dumb ass let me ask If there is something else I can help with, in addition to the monthly article I hope to be writing..

Was there ever a good idea bad idea on the "contest corner" (name can change) section. It would be short and easy to do plus would take up some space. Just a short description of the contest the entry deadline and the prize. It could have a link to the actual contest. We dont usually have many contest at one time and this could get someone back to the site..." wow thats looks easy and what an awesome prize." "I need to go there right now and enter" once there we know they will be hooked all over again.

From reading your posts, i don't think it'll be much of a problem. Here's a good tip that i used to use often when writing fiction... just let the first draught write itself. Don't get hung up on this and that, just get all of your information onto the page, then edit it by way of a second draft.

Obviously with fiction you need to do several draughts, but with this I imagine two, three tops should suffice. Don't try and do it first time.

The competition thing sounds like a good idea to me. If you'd like to do that as well, that'd be great.

Thanks for the bit of encouragement. I like rough copies it help alot. I hand write everything first then make my changes on the paper. I like to see how it was orginally and how it got changed. I am done most of it..

Also, I did the contest thing.. How should I foward it to you? Its in word perfect I can copy/paste it and send in a pm to you and hotnsexy or email it whatever!

I've already spent alot of time on this. I think we need more of a sence of urgency on getting this done. I know they said articles in by the 21st but I would think there would be more enthusiasum about this project!

Hey Dank.
I am still working on my ariticle. I've just been busy researching and doing other stuff around the house.
Everything is going to be good. Skunk gave good advice on how to create a rough copy etc..and they are going to review and edit so you don't have anyting to worry about.

On the other hand I am a bit slow here and...:roll:

Look forward to reading what you have to say.

Lacy Landers:lol:

Sorry guys... been having PC trouble the past couple of days. Still am, but I'm sorted enough on this new machine to make it here, so I can get started.

I imagine the finished articles should just be left as they are and emailed to either milf or myself... then we'll bunch everything together. I need to get cracking...

I am sorry if I offended anyone. I just have so much passion for this subjuct. I was not seeing any progress and was getting scared. So do we have enough sections? I need someones email address to foward what I have so far!

No worries Dank. We're all human here.:mrgreen:
You were just getting frustrated from the lack of response.
I also am unsure of where and how to send this. If I send it via pm it is going to be too long.:?

How do I email it to you skunk?:confused:

For some reason I thought I had over a month and then it occurred to me that I only have a week but I already know what i am going to write about and have done all the research.

Whatever we have is going to HAVE to be enough. We are all volunteering our time and it is going to take some time for it to take off. Most people don't want to jump right in until they know it is going well. And if anyone doesn't like it,.... well:confused:


they know where the 'delete' button is.:roll:

:lol:

Thanks milf... I haven't got any editing programs on this new machine. I've downloaded dreamweaver cs3 3 times, and each time it's not the full program. I'm going to go with frontpage instead today...

There is no problem with my articles they will be forwarded to milf on time. Just to let you guys know I'm still here and not out.:mrgreen:

I am not going to be able to send you it this way as it then reveals my personal email address but I am sure we can work something out. Perhaps I can send it in an attachment and send it via pm.

Lacy set yourself up a new email either hotmail or gmail (they are free), not using you real name. Just a thought, lol. :mrgreen::peace:
