SOS! My Serious and Silly Articles! |
* * * The envelope please...and the winner is... When I was writing this piece, I felt like what Hollywood does...that it...give awards to itself all year long! So, I decided to finish what I started, and I hope the reader get something usful out of the information. I certainly hope so. After my first year in writing (8-06 to 8-07), I thought the reader would like to get a behing-the-scenes look at the things that happened to my articles during this year, etc. Maybe, some ideas will spark for the reader as well. As a woodcarver for over 25 years, I'm out of the art and craft world, and I have no background in writing whatsoever. In wood carving, I took chances with my ideas and I sold almost everything I ever made. And in writing...it's the same thing...I've taken chances with my articles...and I've won a few...and I've lost a few, too. "Behold the turtle. He makes progress only if he sticks his neck out." James Bryant Convant In a piece similar to this, which is a report more than anything else, I posted it on EzineArticles.com, to see what would happen. I took a chance on this piece, and about three months after I posted it, it climbed the ladder, and took the top spot, and stayed there for over a month! Needless to say, I was very pleased to see that happen. At that time, I would update every week, and at EzineArticles.com, everyone has to go through the edit process, to get the piece back into "live" status. Because of this, it became a hassle, and I just deleted it, and I have just posted it on my website where I can edit it whenever I please. |
* * * * Category: Most popular article of a serious nature; The envelope please...and the winner is... - Here's the Skinny On How I Lost 40 Pounds; This is my most popular article, at both EzineArticles.com (directory) and at Authors Den (writing site) I wish all my articles did this well. * Category: Most popular article of a humorous nature; The envelope please...and the winner is... - Halloween: The Two-Headed Monster: This is the first article I wrote in August, 2006, and it has been in the top ten list ever since. * Category: Article that was the most fun and the most challenging; The envelope please...and the winner is... - Auto Racing: Ladies...Start Your Engines...I love creative writing, and this piece was done with the imagination. I came up with all these names for the women driver's at the Indy 500 auto race. Names such as, Candy Barr; Misty Moonlight; Kitty Litter; Penny Arcade; Crystal Bahl and so forth. Amazingly, this piece raced up and took the #10 spot and is now at #12. * Category: The articles with silly titles; The envelope please...and the winners are... - Have You Ever Kissed an Ashtray? (pucker-up); My Dog Ate My Homework (excuse-makers); Dealing With Pig-Headed People (oink-oink); The English Language is All "Greek" To Me; Do I Look Like a Rocket Scientist To You?; Good Writing Requirs Good Speling and Good Grammer; Five Out of Four People Have Trouble With Fractions; * Category: The most surprising article; The envelope please...and the winner is... - Discrimination Against Older Workers (Ageism); When I wrote this piece, I thought it would go nowhere, but was I wrong! The piece has gone up the charts (hits/views), and has been in the top five for over 15 months. * Category: Article that took the longest time to write; The envelope please...and the winner is... - Music: The Beginning of Rock and Roll For Me (1955); In 1955, I was ten years old, and the beginning of the rock and roll had just begun. So, it took me 50 years to write this piece, because I was there from the beginning. * Category: Article with the longest lead in publisher views; The envelope please...and the winner is... - It's All About Making People Happy: This article has been amazing! It has held the lead in publisher views for over 15 months...15 months! * Category: Article rising the fastest in publisher views; The envelope please...and the winner is... - The SpaMobile Has Arrived! (beep-beep); Guess which article knocked, "It's All About Making People Happy" from the top of the list? In less than 30 days, this piece raced up the list, and took the lead, and has been published on over 75 directories! Amazing! There have a few disappointments along the way, but for the most part, everything came out better than expected. This piece would not be complete, unless I gave a BIG THANKS to all the website owners, who have published my articles. They have made my day; my week; my month; my year; my decade; my century; and my millinnumunneminnumm...SEE YA! |

humordoctormd notes: Additional article information; * How I Got Started in Humor: I think this is one of my better humor articles, but the traffic in hits/views has not shown it, which is disappointing, and is on the lower 20% on the list. What is amazing to me, is the fact that, despite this, this article has been published on 19 websites. If I had my 'druthers, I'll take the publishing, etc. |
* The Hero's of 911 Will Never Be Forgotten: I wrote this piece on 9/11, 2006, and it has been one of my worst articles, in terms of hits/views. It has spent much of its time in the basement, and all the new articles quickly pass it on their way to the top. .I have re-written it and have polished it, but nothing happens to it. The piece has been published a few times, so I'm pleased about that. There's a message for young people here...you can't win them all...so just do your best, etc. |
