What I write
I write a variety of things, mostly based on life expereinces. I help other people write their biographies, resumes, business cards, brochures and a variety of othere things they need as well--that's just a sideline business. (Lately, I have been spending a lot of time writing press releases for groups; not really something that pays.) It seems that I spend more time helping others write than I do for myself. I have a couple of songs that I have written also and most recently am working on my autobiography. My life story has many pieces that would make great stand-alone articles for magazines and/or columns in newspapers. Unfortunately, even with a dozen or so years of experience writing for local newspaers, I don't know how to get these pieces published or how to approach a paper to get to run the columns--and get paid for them! The second part is the most tricky. I don't seem to find myself sending those query letters; maybe it's that fear of success as much as it is a fear of rejection. (Any ideas or connections, I'd love to hear them.)
In the meantime, I will continue to write for fun.
