So you're probably wondering what in the world a creamy pink stomach juice has to do with writing better web articles faster.

If you're new to all of this, the thought of having to write tons of articles may invoke feelings of nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or diarrhea. Doing a thing you haven't done much and aren't confident about could make you feel a little queasy.

But writing doesn't have to be dreadful or make your stomach churn. It can be a lot of fun once you're used to doing it regularly. So, I've decided to put together this corny little post to help out.

Think of it as a kind of medicine to cure all the ills of writing.

I don't just want to give you my personal opinion. I am of the mind that you will benefit most by having various points of view to refer back to.

So, I've compiled this list of articles, training, etc. from all over the web in the spirit of helping others write better faster. FYI these are not listed in any particular order. :)
