I am not sure if writing as a career will work for me. The problem is that nothing I am interested in seems enough for a book. Maybe I should start by attempting entry to the nonfiction magazine market. But, that leave me back in the same spot...what to write about? I wonder if I could sustain an email newsletter. I could try to do one that writes brief digests on particular topics...yawn...seem to be quite negative this afternoon.

I should just start by writing email to people on specific topics. That should stick my neck out a bit. It will also give a chance to practice. I suppose I could read the daily news with an eye for something to comment on.
