WOW!

First of all, my hands are shaking with excitement as I write this. My deepest thanks to Chris (the owner of EzineArticles) for having me as the author spotlight this time round. I never would have ever expected to be featured, so this really is a surprise at any rate.

Thanks to all of you for your great comments and while I’m residing in Singapore (I’m a permanent resident here) I really am Malaysian ;) though I still love Singapore as it is my second home (me and the wife just got a place here).

Chris made it all really clear in the way I write my articles and they all reflect the same characteristics. But here are some other tips that may help you if you are looking to improve your writing speed:

Tip 1: Take Frequent Breaks

Really, this is like the most essential of all things if you wanna perform well in article writing. I didn’t notice this was important until I read an article by Steven Wagenheim and he mentioned that you should “reward” yourself every few paragraphs or even lines.

Tip 2: Focus On Writing, Nothing Else

Often times, I’d wander off and check my emails and surf somewhere too. But I always come back after a few seconds out of guilt to writing my articles. This is something you should try to discipline yourself as well.

Tip 3: Never Give Up

See, I never gave up. Honestly, (and this is to compliment Chris and his wonderful team at EZA) EzineArticles has a very strict editor policy. It can be a pain when you get your article rejected several times. But I persevered and made my articles not only compliant but reader friendly too. This didn’t happen overnight, it came with many challenges and the thought that I will “never ever give up, no matter what”.

Hope this helps.

God Bless,
Vern

PS: Singapore is a good place to visit, so if you’re planning to come, remember to bring your summer clothes! ;)
