Ten Online Writing Sites You Might Have Missed
If you are a web 2.0 addict like I am, the last thing you probably need or want is yet another place to write for ad revenue, so don’t worry, I’m not going to saddle you with ten more of those kinds of web sites.
I will saddle you with a few of those kinds of web sites, and fill in with some other great resources that can get you work, get you noticed, hone your skills, or help you make contact with other writers who share your interests.
My feeling is, there’s no such thing as too many resources.
So here, without any more blah blah blah from me, are ten online writing resources you might have missed:
WritersDigest.com. Writers Digest started out as a print publication aimed at creative writers and people who submit articles to paper magazines. They feature articles about how to write, how to get an agent, and all those kinds of writerly topics, but they also regularly include calls for submissions (paper and online publications that are looking for new writers) and they list writing contests (some have an entrance fee, some don’t). Right now they are featuring an article (with hot links) on the 101 Best Websites for Writers, so if you’re looking for new places to sell your stuff and make money, you can blow a couple hours browsing all your choices in that one article alone.
Poets & Writers. Poets & Writers is another print publication whose online version (www.pw.org) is every bit as good as the paper magazine. I’m partial to Poets & Writers because the quality of the articles about writing is much better than Writers Digest, and tone of the whole thing is just a little more upscale. You’ll find interviews with successful writers and poets from all genres, advice, agents, and lots of new markets, writing contests, and calls for submissions.
WritersWeekly.com. Lots of solid information on publishing on demand, online markets, agents and so on in a slightly cheesy format, which for some reason, is extremely typical of many of these writing sites. Apparently, not all writers are web designers too.
Journalismjobs.com. Tired of trolling the net for clients who balk at a penny a word? Sick of working 20 hours a day to build “passive revenue”? If you think you might like to try for a job type job, as in forty hours a week, health plan, 401k, annoying boss; then this is the place to look. Jobs are broken down into ten different categories including film, television, and online media.
Bukisa.com. Bukisa is a revenue sharing site much like Hub Pages. The user interface isn’t bad, and while you don’t really meet the people you do on Hub Pages, the revenue is comparable and they are constantly adjusting it. One nice thing about Bukisa is that the payout threshold is only $10, so you don’t have to write for a year to make a little money.

Hair loss (medical term: alopecia) affects around 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States. The causes of hair loss are many: genetics, environmental factors, habits, medications, hormonal changes. As many as 1/4 of men will suffer from balding by the age of 30, but female hair loss is a widespread problem as well. Some women experience menopause hair loss, or start losing hair from tight braiding, chemical treatments, heat damage, and any of the other number of traumas so many of us put our hair through, unwary of the consequences. Whoever you are, if you start going bald, there’s usually one thing on your mind– How do I stop hair loss?
You could get a prescription drug like Propecia, or use a topical formula like Rogaine, but if you prefer to do things the organic way, you can treat or prevent balding in the comfort of your own home with vitamins, herbs, and essential oils that will stimulate hair growth naturally.

Supplements & Vitamins for Hair Loss
Vitamin deficiency can be a cause of hair loss, and getting enough of the right vitamins is a very effective hair loss treatment.
People deficient in B vitamins are more likely to have thinning hair, or lose their hair completely. Taking a vitamin B complex daily–particularly one containing B6 and B9 (also known as folic acid) can help preserve the hair you have and put that receding hairline on hold.
Another way to approach the balding issue is to try to improve circulation to the scalp. Vitamin E and CoEnzyme Q-10 aid in this, by increasing oxygen uptake. Also, taking a daily vitamin C supplement will help maintain blood flow to the hair follicles in your scalp, which is very important for healthy hair.

How to Mend a Broken Heart
How to Mend a Broken Heart
They say that sometimes the lonliest you feel is when you’re in a relationship..
When your guy starts to withdraw, or starts to make noises like he’s going to leave you, all you want to do is latch on and stop him – but trust me - it’s the worst thing to do.
I know the feeling when you want to do something – and it’s driving you a little crazy that he hasn’t called or isn’t paying you attention – and you’re worried it’s ending but you can’t force those things by calling or sending texts that dont make sense, just to get a response back. Or worse, picking a fight.
Your friends might tell you to be indifferent, and play hard to get – but I believe you can’t fake these things…
So here are some tangible things to do…things that will not only keep your mind off him, but develop you so that you emit that wonderful, sexy energy that has men gagging for more..
- Write down a list of things you want to do that he’s stopped you doing – whether it be actively or things you just put by the wayside because you were too busy lavishing attention on him. Then put a plan in place to do them.You had a life before him – you still have a life if he hasnt’ called or is too busy to plan a date in with you.
- Have a hobby you always wanted to start? Now is the time – dive headfirst into it. Again put a plan in place to do it, book something in if it’s a class, or just plan in dedicated time. The idea is when he next calls to see you – you’re doing other interesting stuff that doesn’t involve him that will make him curious. Men love new things..and the best part is you’ll start to lose yourself in something you love or just gain a new skill.
- Get your hair cut and coloured or styled- and your make up done at one of the make up counters (try to find a stylist who’s own hair you love – it will be what they’re good at). Experiment with different stuff. Clean out your wardrobe and try new combinations of outfits. Get your posture fixed, its the number one thing that’s going to make you feel more confident and happy with yourself.
- Browse an internet dating site. Yeah you dont need to join but we always tend to hang on to things too hard when we think there’s nothing else out there. A good site will open your eyes up to the fact that there is no man drought – in fact there are single men everywhere! You just need to change your perspective – dont let anyone tell you a good man is hard to find.
