Writing Resources

The goal should be to answer the question: Is StoryMash.com "The Future of Collaborative Fiction"? Whatever the answer may be, the author should examine the site to answer this for themselves.

Its strange, I earn 100% of my income from being a webmaster, which I hardly ever talk about, yet a significant amount of the traffic I get from search engines on this blog has terms in it like 'make money', 'becoming a fiction writer', travel writing, etc.

I don't know why I'm ranked for these terms, but since so many of my daily readers want this info I might as well provide it. And since so many of my online friends love writing and are torn between remaining true to their creative spirit versus making a bit of money from their writing, here's a site worth joining.

Storymash is a profit sharing site for writers with a twist. What's the twist? Storymash is a collaborative writing site for fiction. Writers join, then add to existing stories, or start new stories which other writers will then help complete.

In todays Internet its an exciting medium that I think will catch on with more and more of these types of sites. And refreshingly Storymash doesn't try to be a social network either. Sure you can add a comment to another writer's work or vote for the quality of their writing, but essentially this is a site for writers to practice their writing.

Now getting back to earning some money with Storymash, they pay 50% of all revenue to their writers, and regularly hold writing contests with prizes of $500 or more. The current contest expires 20th June so I know a few of you might be interested in checking out what they have to offer.
