@skysnap I hope that you spend more time here, write your posts as well as check on others(including mine 🙂  )

Well, between September and November, I was trying to be more regular into blogging. However, personal stuff and some official stuff have made me write less. I am currently writing a story series on Literacybase, but it is taking time(7 episodes in around 2 months).
May be things will quicken post Mid-March. Yet, considering so many unexpected things that have cropped up in my life in last 1 year, I won’t be optimistic beyond certain limits.

Yes, the Mauryan empire was a big one and a very strong one too. Chandragupta Maurya, aided by Chanakya(or Kautilya) proved tough for Greeks, but also established political relationships with them.
Interestingly, currently, Star Plus is airing a daily SOP “Chandra Nandini” based on Chandragupta Maurya’s life.

@lovern I think some guys like Steve keep on writing articles for Wikinut because firstly they look like full time writers, who earn a good amount of money from offline works and may be some academic pursuits.
So, Wikinut was never even a second (or Nth source)source of income for them.
They write because they have a passion for writing.
Yet, I have got an idea to personally message a few of them, if they will like to come to Literacybase.
And anyone claiming by saying that writing on a non-paying site can be still a fun is kidding, as then it will be better to write either on a personal blog, or an ebook or try to get a book published offline.

Yes you need to slow down a bit. May be take some leaves, talk to your bosses. Plan a vacation. Meditating or doing some regular activities might also help.
I do read a novel these days, even when tired, before going to bed and that helps me a lot in fighting stress at times.

Some good suggestions for blogs indeed @lovern
I too have submitted two blogs a day here sometimes. I am hoping that after a few weeks I will get more time to write more blog posts including my story series.

@nature50 yeah that will also be fun. But as with all monotonous activity, even this will make us bored after some days perhaps.

@lovern I talked to Peter once. He told me that he did tried to get in touch with the main founder(Sam is his name if I recall correctly)on the need to increase payout rates and making some changes as well as advertising the site.
Even I wrote an article to introduce some kind of a cash award for best article(s)- may be not more than $1 or some kind of top rated article award etc.
But the Admin seemed uninterested and insisted that they were not earning enough.

Well, the scenario is a utopian one, except for wealthy and healthy individuals who have retired and their younger ones are supportive and happy. However, even such elderly people get bored by lack of things they have to do, and find similar people to chat for most of the days.

Well to answer the main question, I think I will exercise, read and write stories a lot, and probably on alternate days, will watch movies and then analyze and review them.
It will be truly fun time for me.

But I also know that I will be bored in between.

@lovern
Well after Wikinut went non-paying, I wrote just one article there, and that too to advertise one of my friend’s blog site.
I know Wikinut was not a high payer. I did make some good money from Bubblews in 2013 and early 2014.
Yet, I hold Wikinut as my Guru(Teacher)in making my writing, especially for longer blogs/articles much much better. My English grammar, sentence formation improved a lot.
Moderators like John, Steve and Peter helped a lot.(There was also Mark, but he seldom was my articles’ approver).
I still have email conversations with Peter, and I made him join Blogjob, but sadly, Blogjob ceased to be non-paying, a few days after he joined.
I also asked him to join Literacybase but he has not done it so far.

Anyways, coming back to Wikinut, moderators did guide me in improving my writing especially Peter and I think that has helped me in my long term plan of writing bigger lengths ebooks and may be offline books.
Let me see how far I can go.

@tarasquirrel welcome to being a part of Literacybase. I hope you enjoy our posts here as well as enjoy the discussions.
I have a special bond with Mylot but Literacybase is also one of my current favorites.

February 28, 2017 at 7:45 pm

Well, for interaction, I like Mylot- its an old favorite of mine. Yet for interaction, posting big and small blogs, Literacybase is at the top now.
And I can see interactions too increasing!

Oh I did not knew that Grecy left the site because of  that. I did remember Grecy. If I had come to know this, I would have countered rapidblue with some boring English dialogues and some translated Bollywood movies dialogues 🙂
Yet such a behavior online is not good. One must be respectful.

February 28, 2017 at 7:10 pm

And we even have guys on Mylot who also have had been on Wikinut and good at writing and even at poetry.
I earned 0.08+ yesterday on Mylot, and looking to spend more time regularly there.
And looks like LB and Mylot are at top in this genre of writing and discussions.

February 28, 2017 at 7:00 pm

I too am an old Mylot guy- since 2008. Interestingly, I started becoming active again on revamped Mylot last year, and again this month.
I am ptrikha_2 there.
