Your mind, like your body, must be trained to perform in certain ways, and a regimented schedule is a necessity when it comes to earning a living as a freelance writer. The result was some pretty good advice.

Remember this: every time you allow yourself to publish a mediocre article, you lose a few potential fans (and maybe a few existing ones as well). And how many of them are actually worth being published at your blog? In their turn, lazy blog owners are often tempted by the chance to publish a ready­made article on their blog.

Or, better yet, that you’ve changed your mind and will be submitting the guest post to a competing site that will publish your work instead.
