“Here is an “article” I will “write” that is somebody elses opinion of an authors “writing”. I’ll maybe say a sentence or two after their opinion, and then my Gawker “article” for the day will be done and I can check that off my to-do list.” - you.

Your next article should just be nothing more than a quote from someone else, nothing more. The quote should be the headline as well. See if Gawker will pay you. I am guessing they will.
