Misc. Words of Wisdom:

“I try to leave out parts that people skip” — Elmore Leonard. Article Writing is not novel writing – be sweet and brief!
Repetition may drive the point home, but sounding like a broken record is unnecessary and annoying. Be creative.
Friend sent us this pic: http://is.gd/gCFMU of his articles he printed out for his patients. :)
Respect and credibility in your niche are earned. Keep a steady pace, learn what they want and deliver consistently.
On credibility: Build credibility by providing real examples and practical solutions to the questions that are asked.
Time is always a factor – The sooner you write an article, the sooner you may see the results!
Nothing kills reputation faster than incorrect info. Check facts before you submit articles to avoid this embarrassment!
