Glad you’re finding NJFM helpful. As far as writing on topics that have been addressed before, if the other article is worded exactly as you would word it with the same slant you would put on it with your exact same insight and knowledge, then I would say leave it alone and find something else to write about. However, if the article isn’t written as you would write it with your insight, humor, personality, knowledge, slant and whatever else you could bring to the topic, then it sounds to me like you should write about it.

Over time you’ll gain more confidence in your unique writing ability. Until then, even if someone else has written on the topic of your choice, write about it anyway. To coin a phrase that I use time and time again (and every time I use the phrase I mention how much my daughter wishes I would find another way to express the point), there’s more than one way of skinning a cat. Find your own way with your own writing voice.

I really like your site, just wanted to say that. Thank you for the information breakdown on the services and sites you contribute to…

I wrote my first eHow article today about – a short how-to tutorial for Adobe Indesign…

In browsing the site, which I have frequented before, it just seems to me that every single subject has been written on, or has variations of the same articles everywhere. I know I should stick to niche areas, I specialize in graphic design, street, urban, and modern art, progressive ideas, and more. But it seems every time I try to search and see if anyone else has written a similar article, sure enough a couple show up in the search.

Do you have any suggestions for me?!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated !! Thank you…
