get published

I need to become more comfortable sharing my opinions in writing. Over the past few months I started putting my work on my weblog: http://vacantpropertyurbanopportunities.blogspot.com/ – I have also offered up some content to Rust Wire, which hosts news from the rust belt: http://rustwire.com/ . I am aiming to establish my voice as a source of genuinely interesting material and well-reasoned opinions. Once I feel that I can create this kind of writing regularly, I will start contacting publishers.

“write more” and “write fiction,” this one is more practical. I want to explore freelance writing while I have the opportunity. I understand that it is extremely competitive and difficult, but doing things the easy way has never been my thing.

Ideally I would write some editorial or informative piece for a relatively young periodical. I realize that I’m not going to get picked up by Scientific American or National Geographic (I have to leave something for future goals!)

There’s more to come on this Thing: trust me.
