Writing Application

I found a website which takes applications from freelance writers to post regularly on their site. I decided to take a swing at it, submitting my application last week. I wrote two articles and a personal profile which was what they asked for. The articles had to be written in the third-person and be factual, not opinionated. I did my best, writing and polishing the pieces, then submitted them with high hopes. A little over an hour after I sent them in, I received my rejection letter. They are apparently looking for people who are experts in the field they are writing in. Since I am neither a doctor, nor a professional dog trainer, I had no business writing about the subjects I chose.

Not wanting to let the articles I wrote go to my trash bin, I decided to post them on my blog, which is what my last two posts have been. At least now I can concentrate on writing my novel, which by the way, is going much better than my first attempt. I am writing full character sketches and making a detailed outline before I even sit down to write the body. I am excited and am feeling good about the process.
