Pay An American Article Writer Or Just Write Articles Yourself… But Thrive For Quality Content!

When trying to get back into a writing mentality after a hiatus due to personal reasons, it does take some time to adjust. Believe it or not, even an article writer for hire can have a mental block. Dealing with a number of different issues and trying to come to terms with when I was ready to open my PC and start writing again was not an easy task. It was one of those moments that fall under the “it’s easier said than done” category. Sure, it probably sounds funny to many, especially coming from an American article writer who has given many of you tips on how to break that dry creativity spell, yet my creativity has eluded me for the past few weeks. Perhaps it is related to stress, but the truth is that every time I tried to start something the words did not flow the way they should.

But, I decided maybe I should not think about it too much and just let the article writer in me come out. Tell a story, write and enlighten others but all the while writing something that pleases me and fulfills my expectations and not that of others. Particularly because ever since I became an article writer for hire, I write for others, I rarely get credit for it but I get paid. Yet let us make one thing clear, the reason I became a Journalist was not to get credit or be recognized, I became a Journalist because through my stories not only was I going to inform, but if I could make the difference in someone’s life that in itself, was gratifying. If I could push a politician during an interview until he could come clean with the people that in itself, was gratifying. I was not expecting to be thanked, commended or congratulated, yet seeing others get credit for something you worked so hard to accomplish can be mind boggling. However, I just can’t seem to stop writing, to stop telling stories, to stop creating. It’s in me and will be for the rest of my life. Being an article writer, a story teller, a Journalist, a ghostwriter and all of its derivatives is part of who I am and what I love to do.

Now, I know I have told you many times not to force the words out. Writing should not be an obligation, as I have said before, whether it is informative writing for SEO purposes, or creative writing for entertainment, the truth is you should not obligate the ideas to come. Funny enough I certainly did not apply that on myself the past few months. The American article writer that I am, I should be able to spit out ten or more articles a day. Right? Well, I am afraid to say that is wrong. Most people want rapid results and expect to get amazing quality. Unfortunately, more often than not, one of them needs to be sacrificed. Just as with price, you pay for chicken, that is what you get, but if you want caviar, then you better be ready to dish out the cash. And this is true when it comes to a journalist. A lot of people overlook the fact that we journalists, when working for a newspaper, you rarely get more than 3 stories a day. Because in order for you to provide quality work, you must cover the story, analyze the information you gathered and conclude what is most important in order to write a compelling, informative and excellent story.

When a journalist works at a TV or even Radio Station, the numbers can fluctuate as well. For example, television Reporters rarely get more than two stories a day assigned to them. For Radio Journalists, the number may go up and down depending on how many full stories need to be edited, but it usually remains around three. Why is this? It is very simple, if their News Editors want quality work from their reporters they certainly can not expect them to cover the event, analyze the information and write the piece in a work day. That is taking into account that a regular work day is 8 or 9 hours long. What I am trying to have you understand is that when you decide to write your articles, do not expect to write 15 or 20 in one day. I have seen many petitions like those in the year or so I have been an article writer for hire. And funny enough, not only do these people want this number of articles they also request quality, error free and grammatically correct articles. Last time I checked, I was an American article writer, not a robot or software. The human brain can do wonders but it can not do miracles.

Now, I know most of this post may seem like a rant, and it will be analyzed differently by everyone. Yet, I think it is important that whether you are hiring an American article writer or any article writer for that matter, do not expect the miracles you yourself will not be able to perform. On that same note, if you are writing your own articles do not set your expectations too high or you will get frustrated. It is not important how many articles you write in one day, but rather how good of an article you can write that day. It all comes down to what I always say, quality should always supersede quantity.

To make your writing easier jot down ideas, tips and information as they come to mind. It is ok to start with one idea and finish with another as long as you go back, re-read and EDIT what does not fit in. You’ll be surprised at how many great articles start off totally different than they did. Take this one for example… I had no idea what to write about, and then the words simply emerged!!! Tah Tah!!!
