The professionalism and Non - professionalism in the writing world

If you ask me what is the biggest issue plaguing the website content writing industry today, the answer would be disorganization or simply put very very unorganized and unprofessional industry.
Now you may wonder, in the field where hundreds of articles are churned out of humans each day, who for a few dollars go on war with unrealistic deadlines and a lot of quality instructions, how come things be unorganized and unprofessional?
The answer to this, can be found in the question itself. Several people who are into this field, h ave had no prior experience of writing. Some have never even done writing, ever. A tout culture flourishes, with people who have only negotiating and business acumen, getting into something, which I consider a very very high level of art.
Then the thing about deadlines. Has anyone ever cared that what goes onto the writer to write so fast, and on similar topics. A degree of exhaustion happens, which is only cured by instant money. In hurry, a lot many times, mistakes happen, which are then seen as part of misconduct and unprofessional-ism on the part of the writer.
Then comes the issue of pricing. The worst aspect of all. In any form of art, a person should be paid according to his/her talent. Here in the web content writing space, market forces of demand and supply set the rate for writers. Many writers I have seen are overpaid and some very well talented are underpaid, for simple reasons of economics. A writer's wage is more dependent on negotiations and bargains than on his/her talent and acumen to write.
And I feel bad about this whole process. And moreover, thier is no alternative scheme I can think of for this process.

Frauds and Scams that have had happened, where people made quick bucks by selling articles of writers and paying them nothing for it. This is has caused a large amount of insecurity in minds of the writing populace, and has hampered the client - clientele relationships. Everyone here looks into the eye of the another with loads of suspicion.


Do write in your views and thoughts...

What if you could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered. Mat...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
