Writing Articles an Clutch

So you join a sim league, such as Clutch, and you suddenly find your self lacking money. Whether finances are out of whack, whether people have jacked up the players market so much. You find your self in a situation where you need money an you need money quick. The league will never ever admit fault or admit maybe funds should be increased in result you recieve no help there.
The commish of the league then tells you of ways you can earn money to help you. The main way is writing the all so dreaded article that everyone jumps to read. The one true bit of fanasty in a all so fanasty league. The imagination of a GM running wild in article for all the league to see. What if your just a casual GM though? What if you just lack what it takes to write a creative article for the league? What happens if you get embarrassed when other people see your work embedded in stone on a web site for everyone to hoot an hollar at. Is this truely fair to a person just here for a few hours a week in there break from the heatic world that surrounds us.
How many times have you found your self dry on thoughts. How many times have you read stuff from GMs that made no sense and are only up because the GM is tryin hard to earn that extra dough that has eluded him. I find my self in a situation where only selling players, picks or flesh earns me money. I find my self deep in a circle just earning enough to keep the team afloat but never enough to increase the team to become competitive. This circle makes it so its hard to pull out of. Year after year being drawn in like a whirlpool. Articles being that one salvation , that one tool you use to pull outta the hole. Then your stadium floods, or the zambonie blows up or a tragedy happens that takes all those articles you wrote an flushes them down the toilet. Its a damn shame a hobby feels like english class but as our parents often uttered those famous words, you never know when your gonna use the skills you learned in School.

Obviously, grammar class was not his strong suit...
