Writing for the Odyssey is a lot of fun. I enjoy writing articles and seeing people's interactions on social media with them. Writing is one of my favorite things and the Odyssey provides a great platform to voice my opinions on endless topics. Here are 9 things all Odyssey authors know to be true:

1. Making article deadlines.

Meeting article deadlines is easier some weeks than others.

2. The excitement when your article first publishes.

You love to see the final product in all its glory and read it another seven times.

3. Seeing people's comments.

It either goes like this:

Or like this:

4. Creating Meta tags.

There are so many possible ones.

5. Getting the slug you want and not getting the slug you want.

Sometimes the slug suggestions just aren't what you were looking for.

6. Coming up with the perfect title.

This is so important to your article and coming up with the perfect title can sometimes be stressful; but sometimes they come to you and you just know that it's perfect.

7. Reading other Odyssey writer's articles.

You have a special bond even if you don't know them because you both understand writing and the Odyssey. You are also more likely to read an article if it is by another Odyssey author.

8. Love for writing.

We all have a passion for writing, whether it be a hobby, job, or major.

9. Being proud to write for such a great content platform.

The Odyssey has provided a great writing opportunity for me and I'm so glad that I joined this community.
