Writing can be exhilarating when it's not completely terrifying or exhausting. Trust me, I know. I've been doing it for a while now, and only over the past few years have I felt more confident in my editing skills. It takes time people.
That's why our team is here to help. After we receive and approve a draft, we make copy edits according to our style guide and offer suggestions for how to make it even better. We want you to look good. And, of course, our number one mission is to share awesome open source stories.
Do you have a project or technology you want to share? I'd love to hear about it.
Bring your questions about writing and ideas for articles, and your questions about writing for Opensource.com in particular, to our IRC chat on:
April 5 from 1:00 - 2:00pm (ET), 17:00 (UTC)
April 12 from 10:00 - 11:00am (ET), 14:00 (UTC)
