These were words I needed to hear. I was beginning to feel less talented as I read other articles with brilliant thoughts articulated so well. I shall preserver. I feel the more I write about my niche the eaiser it will be for me to come up with new ways to describe it. Thanks to everyone, Shirley Bass Hello to everyone,

There is a lot of good advice on this blog about personal writing skills and making your personality stand out for the readers.

These were words I needed to hear. I was beginning to feel less talented as I read other articles with brilliant thoughts articulated so well.

I shall preserver. I feel the more I write about my niche the eaiser it will be for me to come up with new ways to describe it.

Thanks to everyone,

Shirley Bass

All great advice that we all need to hear over and over as writers. I just hit a milestone here at ezine articles and got 14 articles published and got expert status. I am excited and look forward to continuing my submissions. During the time I was writing my book Love's Secret Live Your Lifef In Love. The critic in me kept telling me that I didn't have anything to say that people wanted to hear. I kept picking it back up and finished it last year. I have recieved three awards for the book in Self Help. The lesson I have learned in writing is just keep doing it. The more I write the better the connection to the creative flow and the less I hear the critic. Love the post Chris and all the comments as well.

What I've found is sure, you want good original content, but more important isn't WHAT you're writing - it's HOW you're writing it. Expressing in writing your coherent articulate thoughts is what interests people most of all. Do your research and put the key issues into your own words. Haven't you ever read something that captured your attention by virtue of the style of the writer - more so than the actual material. Saying the obvious is ok as long as you say it exceptionally well and captivatingly (hey I think I just invented another word again..). If Jaunita or whomever is pessimistic due to the sheer magnitute of existing content - well that's a reason to charge ahead - not bale out. Lots of people have lots to say about your topic - check em out. Select the best points, collect them, and paraphrase and organize them for your reader. You're doing your readers a service by aggregating quality of content on your topic and by sharing it articulately. Two points to make here.

Things you may consider mundane or stuff "everyone knows" simply isn't true. The most responded to article I've written was on "basics" not something obscure. Just look at your area of expertise in YOUR unique way and explain it YOUR way and it will be unique. Juanita:

Brilliant! I also like Booker T. Washington's quote, "Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way." Everyone is different, so each person has something special about them, a unique way of looking at life. The trick is to throw caution to the wind and have the guts to be yourself. If you're thinking, "Even if my way of doing things is different from everyone else?" - My response would be, ESPECIALLY if your way of doing things is different from everyone else! And now I have to make a quick burger run. Thanks for the advice and thanks for the craving. Great advice – I love the Burger King analogy. Brilliant!

Read their articles and look for their mistakes. Write your articles avoiding the mistakes of the others and be always honest with your audience. Be extremely helpful in the service you provide, give nice bonus with your products and good discounts to the customers that buy from you. If you sell what everyone else sells or if you provide common services, you have to give to your customers many incentives to make them buy from you, or make them choose you for the work they need. The more you give, more are your chances to receive something in return and achieve your goals. Juanita, you can be unique if you try to find what you can do better than your competitors.

In my case, I love my work. I am a very strong person and a dreamer man … I like challenges. My advice : read a lot …from ecology to entertainment (If you can in Spanish, Portuguese, French)… and have dreams in your life…Eleanor Roosevelt said: “The future is for those people who believe in the beauty o f their dreams" . Many Thanks Alejandro I think if you love your job you are unique.
