Absolutely free advice for any new writers here:
- Within the first 3 sentences of any article you're writing, ask yourself, "Would a school teacher in Manila care about this?" The answer should be a quick yes, or you're wasting your time.
- I live by this about articles/submissions here: Get it, write it, submit it, move on. You'll be helping yourself if you adopt that motto too.
