I suspect that applies to other forms of writing, too. Moral of the story: study, learn and then have confidence in what you write because nobody knows anything!

Make your articles go farther by reworking them for different publications. For example, I wrote an article on swaddling twin babies for a national magazine for parents of twins. Then I cut down the article and removed the product reviews for an online column I write about twins and multiples. After that, I took out the "twins angle" and generalized the article to include all babies for publication in a pediatric newsletter. I even recorded a podcast about swaddling! With just a little bit of work, I was able to use the same research in four different ways. - Susan Heim Here’s another freelance writing tip, from the author of five books and numerous articles:
