Here it is, Sunday, and I'm writing again. Thanks to all of you, who commented on my postings, your feedback is always welcome. There are so many topics out there to write about from how technology affects youth to personal experiences, and so little time. For those of you who have full-time jobs, I'm sure you'll agree with me. And it is great to have little accomplishments happen along the way so that you'll keep writing. Like the other day; I got a letter from one of the magazines that I send some submissions to from time to time. Usually I get a rejection, but this time, to my complete surprise, it was a letter of acceptance. They're going to publish my book review which I submitted several months ago (yes, magazines usually take their sweet time answering you), and I am going to get paid as well. Even though it's not very much money, I was still very happy with this little accomplishment.
So, I dare you: send one query every day to a magazine, a newspaper, or other publication that uses freelance writers. You'll be feeling really good about yourself, and even better when that letter of acceptance comes! Start small; magazines like Byline always accept queries and they also have contests going on a regular basis. Check out www.bylinemag.com. Happy writing!
