There are so many niche magazines, for specialist articles on all subjects from pets to antiques. <br /><br />Umberto, welcome! Writing shorts is a god second string to your bow, don't you think? Very best of luck with your writing, in whatever form! <br /><br />Mad, I'm working on it!

But I like being able to write my books and short stories full time now. I also prefer self-publishing much of what I write, a venue in which I do know I'm being read at least by some, and where I have creative control. And there's no waiting! You're right. One way or another, writers must keep writing and keep putting it out there, and not filed away, for there's no closure in that.

I've done a few journalism pieces/features in the past and was even paid for some but hadn't thought of pursuing it now. I'm sure lots of people will be following up this extra source of writing income now, so thanks for this!Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-235943554966242502015-01-21T13:27:49.335+00:002015-01-21T13:27:49.335+00:00Thanks, Mad.
