My first PAID article published!
 

Granted, I only got a whopping $2.55 for it, but that is before any residuals produced by repeat viewings, so have a read:

The 13 Most Irrespsonsible Fast Foods Available Today

Let me know what you think. I am trying to be entertaining as well as informative, so it isnt just a jack-off article.

This isnt just pimpage, its a celabration. I have moved from "Ameture Writer" to "Paid Ameture Writer" :D

Congratulations on your quantum jump from amateur to professional status. :) I'm very happy for you and for any one who can make the transition. I tried decades ago but realized I didn't have it in me. That's okay though, forums are a good place to satisfy any need I might have to vent. Perhaps some horror is in the offing....?

Thank you :)

I actually have the writer-mill over at Cracked.com to thank. They are "brutally" honest, but that site has a very distinct flavor of comedy, and trying to pitch articles for them requires you to flex all of your writing muscles. Comedy really is the hardest genre, but it is an excellent exercise (and you bet your ass I am going to be spray painting it all over this site if i get published there)

Well done dude. It was quite an interesting read.

standing ovation'
well done

Good work. Keep it up! And if you don't have one, buy a copy of the Writer's Market. For people who can write useful articles, it's a godsend.

I will never wash my eyeballs again


Congrats

Thank you everyone. :)

i hope to do many more on similarly interesting (and possibly more horrifying) subjects. I re-read it last night and sadly all it does is make me hungry (share it with your freinds :D)

Nicely done! Very informative while also quite amusing. Remember - all great writers started small. I think King got paid $25 for his first story. (I feel slightly better about KFC too - thanks.)

Nice article, I would have thrown Dairy Queen's "Flamethrower" on there though.
