I don't usually recycle my writing. I prefer to create a new content, a new style of writing on a similar topic, as I find it to be something that is so much more easier to do.

However, if you had written a brilliant piece of work, and you plan to recycle it as often as possible, there are a number of ways you can go about to do this without ever being found out by your publishers that the piece of different writings really come from the same source-your original article which you chose to recycle into many, different forms.

First and foremost, you can change the style in which you write.

For instance, if you were writing an article originally in a non-fiction tone, you could perhaps change the style of writing to a fictional one.

If you were originally writing an article in a more serious tone, you could play around with it and made it more light-hearted and humorous.

Secondly, you can change the examples that you are using.

For instance, if you are writing about love that do end up in tragedies, if you were previously using an example from your ex-college friend and her husband, you could now change the example to what happened between your uncle and his wife.

Your list of friends must be surely limitless, and therefore, you will have limitless amount of examples to recycle through and through. Even if you lived in a cave all your life and had no friend, you can use your examples from the lives of strangers, like for instance, the recent falling out of President X and his pretty wife MRs.X. You can use your examples from real life figures from the past, or present, or heck, if you can time-travel, the future. If you hate real life people, try using fictional characters like Romeo and Juliet. Your readers will love or hate you to death for using them. Wink.

Thirdly, you can reorder the sequence of the main points in your article.

For instance, you were writing an article about the characteristic of the Christian God, and your points were
1) God is omniscient(all knowing).
2) God is omnipotent(all powerful).
3) God is omnipresent(everywhere).
4) God is holy.
5) God is just.
6) God is love.
7) God is sovereign.

You can reorder your points in your new articles in the following manners.

1) God is Sovereign.
2) God is holy.
3) God is love.
4) God is just.
5) God is omniscient.
6) God is omnipotent.
7) God is omnipresent.

Recycling your article is not really that difficult. The only difficult part of the art of recycling articles may be that it can get very boring after awhile to keep writing about the same article, same topic, with the same points, in 100 different ways. That is why I prefer to come up with original articles, instead. It makes writing somehow more mysterious, wink, and fun. :)
