26 Ways to Fail

26 Ways to Fail- Letter A

As you can plainly see, this has nothing to do with the novel "26 Ways to Fail"... though this may seem ridiculous that I name another thing of mine the same, I think that it is ridiculous that you even think that I can think of another name to be thought of when all I was thinking about was how I lost my train of thought. As someone didn't know what this was going to be about, (neither did I) this is all new. 26 ways to fail translates into the alphabet. True I know the traditional alphabet and not the one 3 certain people made up in the middle of Algebra in 7th grade but it still makes sense... sort of. And to make sure this makes as least most sense as possible, I'm going to start with the lovely letter A. (The was not alliteration)
A-Article writing!
As this "very creative" title entails this entry will be about the captivating world of article writing. (This is where you applaud) If you haven't applauded yet, I suggest that you write an article, burn it, then applaud the ashes. If that seems odd, it is because it is.
Ah, article writing... what a wondrous topic. Here are the 7 ways to fail on this topic. Thanks to http://ezinearticles.com/?Article-Writing-Mistakes---7-To-Avoid&id=7709 for this insightful information.
Article Mistake #1 Too many grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.
Article Mistake #2 Too much hype, bragging, and self-promotion.
Article Mistake #3 Content cased on what you need to learn, not what you reader needs.
Article Mistake #4 Making you article broad or superficial in content.
Article Mistake #5 Headline and article summary does not grab readers' attention.
Article Mistake #6 Plagiarizing or 'buying articles'...

Most of these things we have learned in class so... hopefully you recognized them. Otherwise, all hope for humanity is lost. This is 26 Ways to Fail so if you wish to do so, make all the mistakes above. I will not show an example because I fear that it will sound too familiar.
If this is confusing, then I have done my job. The few people who will actually read this- Good Job!
