Many people write and submit one article at a time to the article directories.
Others write many articles and then submit them all at once.
There are many schools of thought on this matter, so I will simply explain how my process works.
I have written and submitted more than 565 articles during the past 13 months using this method.

• I make notes about what my articles will be about.
  I then make sure that each article has a point and teaches or explains some valuable information to the reader.
  My list of ideas for future articles stays next to my computer.
  
• In the morning I take a look at this list and then write an article on the idea that interests me most.
  I write the article using Word and then save it to my hard drive in a folder that contains similar articles.
  I make sure to spell check and edit the article before saving it.
  
• Then I go to select all and copy while I am still in Word.
  
• Next I go over to my account an Ezine Articles and go into my author's area.
  There I do a control v to paste my Word document into the area designated for it.
  
• I give my article a keyword rich title, write an interest generating summary, and make sure my resource box invites them back to a place where the reader can get more information.
  
• I submit the article and then log out of my account.
  
• I do this regularly throughout the day when I am working at home.
  I have found this to be the fastest and easiest way to write and submit your articles.
  As I write each article I cross it off on my list.
  

I encourage you to use this method for writing more articles in less time.
