Online Publishing with Associated Content
I've posted my first piece at Associated Content. It's similar to Orato. One difference is that there don't seem to be any limits on the length of the piece you submit. (Orato limits you to 600 words, but not for no reason. Orato's says people don't read more than 600 words on the net...) So I don't have much to say about it.

Another thing: this story is the first I've written in some weeks. It was really hard to get my momentum back. It's like Newton's law of inertia applies perfectly to one's own ability to produce stories.
