Interested in Becoming a Part of the Team?

WELCOME

The entire purpose of this blog is to provide a space for any random topic.  Since "any random topic" is quite general, we are obligated to establish some sort of standard which must be met before the work submitted by the author will be posted. Both fiction and non-fiction writings are accepted. And we encourage you to submit your writing as often as you'd like. Random-knuts makes no money, nor does it seek to make money, off of this site.

How We're Getting the Word Out

While writing is great practice and getting posted to a blog where millions of potential readers have access to your material is even better, it isn't enough to get noticed.  Since just posting your work and letting it sit is a great waste of both of our times, we have taken steps toward getting the word out about the site.  Currently, we have two twitter accounts tweeting the site and the existing material.  We have all the analyses tools set and ready to go to identify and take advantage of any trends or niche markets the minute they exist.  Once the blog begins to pick up steam we will revisit our stance to possibly replace this website with one that we will have complete control over. If there is a demand, we could look into publishing a mini-e-newspaper. So, in short, right now we are focusing on writing and getting others' writing posted. After a period of time, we'll see how serious we can get.

Your Part

When visitors read your material it means that you are being seen. If you are often seen by those interested in your realm of expertise, it can only help you in becoming the writer you want to be. That said, there is only so much the site can do; so, there must be a commitment from you, as an author, to recruit and inform your fans. The more page views you have and the longer your fans read your material, the better off you are at getting noticed. If you feel that you aren't interested in being noticed, that's okay. Building a fan base doesn't always have to deal with celebrity or developing a career. It can also serve as a platform for you to introduce your ideas or become a better writer by asking your readers to critique your work.  So, if your goal isn't to become a famous writer, only to write, you're in the right spot, because building a fan base can solicit your work to the much needed criticism that many writers want to hear.

Plagiarism

All writing will be scanned for plagiarism using specialized software.  If there are any concerns, at all, with your article or writing, then we will not post it.  Moreover, if there are two instances of what is perceived as plagiarism then we will no longer accept your material. As long as you submit all the sources from where you obtained the information you have used in your writing, there shouldn't be any issues with plagiarism.
