Improve your writing

How to Keep Editing and Not Giving Up After Having Declined Articles

I do not know what it is lately. I get a lot of comments that my writings are improving, but yet I get more than half my articles declined here on Triond. After some revision, they just get declined, while I worked hard on them.

I do not like to complain, but I do question some Triond standards I found lately. Yes, I might have saved a lesser draft and maybe I do write a lesser article, but lately all my articles seems to get trouble in getting published here on Triond.

I do know I write a lot of articles, but it hurts me that an article I spent hours on and revised several times end up rejected, while almost completely computer written articles that do not make sense, do get published here.

Fact is that I also write for other sites like Helium. I do not publish there a lot, since I rate a lot there. This means reading two articles written under the same title by different writers and judge which one you consider best.

Or it can be two written by the same writer, using a leap frog.

In the beginning I also got deleted articles there and started working harder on my English. This actually meant: reading more and depending less on my computer software.

So yes, I might have a mistake here and there or use a wrong expression, but I look up what is right and learn from it.

On Helium you do have stuarts that can help you out on where your articles might score low.

I am surely not a top writer here in Triond, getting less than 200 views on an article in 3 months, but I do work hard to and train my skills to get recognition as a writer.

But I consider it real funny how some of my slobbier written articles, that are quite poor and filled with mistakes have made it here at first and now that I am improving, my articles get declined.

I wonder what the policies on Triond are. I do not spam or bulk people with messages begging to read my work, since I feel people should read it when they like it and not because I beg them to.

If Triond is questioning me, because I write a lot of content and am not a native English speaker, I do not have a problem.

But I do feel that I am bleeding for all the spam bots here and that my work gets declined because of that.

Or do they not like somebody to produce more than a certain limit of content, so they might not have to pay you too much? I do think this might be a little funny, since they only pay you on what they earn on you.

Seems like the more productive a writer is, the more they can earn on it.

And they encourage you to bring new writers. So far I do know nobody I might introduce as a useful extension to the Triond community.

I just have much time on my hands and get productive. This does not mean this will remain this way. When I do get a day job, I might become less productive just as well.

So I keep editing and when Triond keeps refusing, I look for a suitable title on Helium and post it there. This way I already earned my second writing star there and I do not get any rejections there anymore.

    I normally get declined for writing commonly written articles. It requires tweaks here and there to get accepted. I’m getting declined less these days though.:)
