The internet is the ideal place for anyone who wants to write for fun or as a new career. From reporting local news to blogging to writing social media posts for business, there are many ways to earn money on a full or part time basis. Another area to consider is to write and submit short stories that are published in a number of mediums.

The web offerings are much different than traditional publishers, as short and long stories are accepted for publishing in different mediums. Most opportunities can be found in engine searches that deal with story publishing. There are also online writing groups and forums can have leads and offer advice on the submission process.

Once a person finds a few prospects, they may wonder what they should write about or which publisher is appropriate for their writing style. Before trying to adhere to the submission format, it may be best to jot down a few ideas. From there, a draft summary or plot with an ending that may be suitable for the designated audience could be the next step.

The process of getting words on paper differs just as much as the writing voice of the wordsmith. However, there is no harm in the new writer experimenting with a number of styles until the right fit is discovered. Some may try to find the voice of a character first and built a story around those factors. Others may choose interesting bits and pieces, put them together and then edit to satisfy submission guidelines.

A good concept is often a believable story that has a realistic ending but has other unique factors. This can take from something that happened in real life, either from a personal perspective or something that occurred elsewhere. New writers may want to make name or location changes if there are other parties that may object to their real name being used.

For the imaginative, coming up with characters based on public personas can be just as exciting. Sometimes people can identify with those who live awesome lives and appear to be the envy of many. It may be important to keep the details congruent with the type of personality involved. For instance, a woman that is perceived as a gold digger is not likely to volunteer long hours at a public school because they want to. However, if volunteering at a nonprofit organization places them in close contact with eligible wealthy men, this is worth noting.

Both new and seasoned writers may find themselves so enthused by the story writing process that it may become lengthy. Fortunately, there are many ways to go with the submission process. If it is not possible to leave out pertinent details in order to meet the word count, it can be broken into a series of short stories.

There are often multiple uses for a good story, as the some can be used to sell or cross promote other goods. Something that makes audiences feel good may be used as a way to bring online audiences to a particular site or as a way to engage. Often people seek things that help them to live vicariously and when this idea is linked to another product that may provide joy or convenience, stories can go a long way.
