Magazine Article Writing

I know I said I was going to talk about writing magazine articles. I know nothing about it other than what I have read in how-to books. It's something I need to learn more about. It's something I need to do in order to make a little money at writing. Now even though I may never have actually written an article to be published, you would be hard pressed to find someone who knows more about magazines than I do. I currently subscribe to over 20 publications and always seem to supplement my subscriptions with an additional 10-15 from the grocery store and book store each month. I know the magazine rack like the back of my hand.

I know the audience pretty well for most home design, travel, writing, women's, and decorating magazines. Those are my genres of choice.

The next step is to actually find something worth writing about and submit it. It's niave I know to think that it will be that easy, but I have to start somewhere. I'll try and start with our local newspaper and the local Mountain Living magazine published right here in Flagstaff. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I'm devoted to this full time now. Well as full time as I can, but this is going to be my focus for the summer. I will succeed sooner or later.
