My Triond February Bonus Challenge!
Article.
As the December special was so successful I am glad to see that Triond are doing another one. Sadly I missed the last one due to an unfortunate chain of events. I am glad to hear that this one is going to be even better, with a 30% bonus for 20 articles.
Title
Where to start? Well the first thing to do is write down 1-20 in my notebook and think up some titles. I want to make them interesting and intriguing so I’ll drop in a cliché or catchphrase or two.
Research and write-up
Now for some research! Books, magazines, internet searches and my own thoughts (if I have any !!) Then onto compiling what I have discovered into note form, short hand and spider diagrams. It all gets a bit mixed up so I will begin typing it into a word document in the right order. Dates and events etc. need to go chronologically.
Spell check and edit
It is looking more like an article than a bundle of random thoughts. Time for a spell check and examining the piece for grammatical errors, incomplete sentences and other mistakes writers make.
Images
Selecting images from Google or Fotolia. I don’t want just any old pictures but ones that are clear and well taken, artistic, relevant if sometimes obscure. No clip art or over-used images if I can avoid it. I have started a collection of my own from Fotolia.
The article is now going onto Triond and the count down to the end of February begins…
Will all my hard work pay off?

I don’t know if I’ll get 20 articles wrote or not, but I’m going to at least try to finish enough to get the badge.
