Whistle Why You Work?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away I was a Music Major with hopes and dreams of educating and leading young minds in the pursuit of creating their own music. Well, things change and if you would have said to me when I was a college freshman I would be helping to manage one of the Internet’s largest article directories I would have said you were nuts….of course back in 1988 I also would have asked you what this Internet thing is. So instead of conducting an orchestra of instruments, I have found myself conducting an orchestra of words. Just like a traditional orchestra, I and the rest of the EzineArticles.com team are just here to provide assistance and direction while you the authors, or orchestra members, provide the music in the form of your articles.ÂÂ
Today, music is still very important to me – whether it’s Brahms, Puccini, Billy Joel or Dave Matthews – when I have the tunes on I accomplish 10x what I do when I don’t have them on. Article writing and marketing may sometimes feel more like work than pleasure at times, but find that one thing that makes “work” seem less…well, work-like and see if it helps your production.
So what do you do to help get yourself in the article writing zone and create your EzineArticles.com “music”?ÂÂ
Strangely enough, if I have music playing in the background, I have to turn it off before writing. I can’t concentrate if there’s music playing. Never could. I say strangely because I’m a pianist.
I actually enjoy writing articles on the topics I love. I now write for two topics – poetry and music. And since I have newsletters coming out on Mon. and Wed. I have no choice but to write! :)
