Helium and What it Means to Me

As I mentioned in a previous post, through working on-line, I came across a site called Helium. It is a site for established writers and not so established writers. Those who want to learn about and improve on their writing techniques.

At this site you will find many, many topics and debates that you can choose to write on. If you can't find any topics that interest you, which is highly unlikely, you can start a new one.

I fell in love with this site and now I find myself rushing through my other work so that I can go to Helium. Once there, I just seem to get lost in it. I often end up spending hours reading articles, visiting the community boards, and spend a fair amount of time rating articles written by other authors. Also, while doing all this, I am looking for articles I want to write to myself. Inevitably, I find several.

Helium also has ways that you can earn money. They have periodic contests with cash prizes and they have what is called Market Place. There you will find advertisers who are willing to pay money for articles on subjects that they want to publish an article about. They give a period of time for all interested parties to submit their articles and they pick the one they most want to publish.

For me, Helium is an addiction! I have to spend time there each and every day. It's a must for me. The amount of knowledge you will find there is amazing. You will also meet people, on the community boards, from all over the world. All working together, and trying to help each other get better at achieving their goals.

It is my desire to become a better writer and I believe that my time at Helium is helping me to do that. Now, I am even considering going back to school to study comprehensive writing.

You're never to old to learn, RIGHT?
