Article Directories

So I have a blog and I have so many things that I want to write about. I am not really sure if anyone is reading the stuff that I write. But I am way past that now. I do not really make that the main motivation for writing at all. One can fall into the trap of doing something only if there is some kind of reward attached to it. After a while it becomes a chore, a tedious job and the fun goes out with it. I like the feeling when I am writing something and I do not let factors like readership or audience get into the thoughts that I write. Sure, they do bother me sometimes but a little bit of discipline is what I use to get to the job at hand.

I learned that there are such websites as Article Directories; where authors and writers submit their masterpieces so people can read them. I tried a few of these that were suggested in an article I read. Well, they must have been very high-quality directories because they said so at the start and they had standards that had to be adhered to. I suppose it is like that with editors and literate people. They force you to rise above your own inadequate skills and become one like them, living in the rarefied atmosphere of Article Olympus. I remember always wanting to write and I tried my hand at writing something which I thought would be interesting to people, when I was very young. I was maybe thirteen or fourteen at the time and I wrote a small article and sent it to a magazine. Weeks later I received a note politely declining my submission and that was the end of my career as a magazine writer.

It crushed me a little and I did not have the presence of mind to keep that little memento; so, on I went to other things like taking pictures and watching the girls go by. My mother always warned be against wanting to be a writer. She says writers were always broke. I guess she knew what she was talking about. Now, I find kind of ironic that I am writing and no one cares if it is good or bad. I write it into the air and who cares if it comes back to earth unread like a message in a bottle set adrift in the wide ocean.

However, it is not all like that when writing on the internet. There will always be something or other that will break the balance that you think you have achieved. Things like Article Directories. I would have promptly forgotten about submitting to Article Directories owing to the strict standards of excellence that editors require had I not come across a wonderful piece of software called Article Submitter. I had come across a few and the one that I tried unzipping needed to be uploaded to a web hosting where it can do its stuff; so, that was it for me with article submitters. As I said, nothing stays stable for very long and true enough, I stumble on another Article Submitter what was quite content to find a home in my desktop and do its job from there.

I would not say it is a wonderful piece of software since I have just used it twice. The first time was a disaster as I did not know how it really worked and I did not do what I was expected to do correctly. After a few days I tried it again and I am surprised at how easy it can be to submit to article directories. There are many of them out there and not all of them have your typical high-fallutin editors wielding the all-powerful veto to your article. Quite a number of them say,"Thank you" which is a real treat even if it's just a web page saying it.
