What is your philosophy on the upcoming Hubpages writing contest that starts in April?
Are you holding up publishing anything until then? I plan to have stories set up before hand, unpublished and then publish during the contest. Then write only for the Daily Bonus Topic because there is no way I can write 5 articles in one day - the max submission for the 'so you think you can write online' contest.
Write something original and enjoy taking part even if you don't win money. Instead most will win pleasure and some visitors treasure that's for sure.
It sounds like a lot of fun, but more importantly, it's a chance for HubPages to encourage, good, solid journalism and competent use of grammar, which is sorely lacking in many hubs. We need to sharply improve the quality of the content on this site, and I think that's a good way to start. Hopefully they'll do this kind of thing frequently. Will I participate? I haven't decided.
I have been holding back publishing mine. I know I won't be making 5 per day, but instead of publishing hubs now I might as well wait another week, then publish them during the contest. Maybe I'll win something, maybe not, but I won't lose out a lot by waiting an extra week to publish them.
I wish I had the time to write a hub a day but time is not there for me to do this. Maybe I'll get one or two possibly three. Wish I could because my goal was 100 by the time I am on here a year.

I was super excited to see that YouTube picked my channel (Create with Claudia) as today's (Oct. 9, 2020) "Creator on the Rise". Honestly, I can't believe that I'm on their trending page for the next 24 hours. I started out writing here about 8 years ago on a whim. Never...
