Blog Contributor (Remote)

If you enjoy small-town Washington, Toot'n Towns USA invites local correspondents to write short (250-500 words) articles to talk up the great things about the small city or town where they live, or a town they have visited. Examples of the type of articles we need might include (but are not limited to):

* Area museums of Electric City
* Asotin's festivals and special events
* Local recreational opportunities in Wishram
* Noteworthy locals of Kooskooskie
* Architectural and historical points of interest in Republic
* Fall City's unique local businesses
* Anything that illustrates something unique and praiseworthy about a town -- no matter how small that town is

Correspondents may also contribute digital photos of the town, but please submit only those photos to which they own the copyright. Contributions are edited for grammatical errors or for clarity, and Toot'n Towns USA reserves the right not to publish any submissions that are judged to be offensive or inappropriate for a general reading audience. We also do not publish articles about towns that have a population greater than 100,000 people. If they're bigger than that, they're not small towns anymore, right?

Toot'n Towns USA pays $2 per article via PayPal upon publication on the Web site, but contributors retain all rights to materials they have submitted. For more information or to contribute an article, visit http://www.tootntownsusa.com/add-a-town/give-a-toot/.

Hello, welcome to a little thing called 750 Words

★ What is this site about?

I've long been inspired by an idea I first learned about in The Artist's Way called morning pages. Morning pages are three pages of writing done every day, typically encouraged to be in "long hand", typically done in the morning, that can be about anything and everything that comes into your head. It's about getting it all out of your head, and is not supposed to be edited or censored in any way. The idea is that if you can get in the habit of writing three pages a day, that it will help clear your mind and get the ideas flowing for the rest of the day. Unlike many of the other exercises in that book, I found that this one actually worked and was really really useful.
