A few years ago I got burned out with writing for print publications -- the constant pitching, the waiting, more waiting, the laborious editing process, more waiting for the piece to be published. I was getting old & gray before my time! <br><br>One thing that really helped me was starting a blog. I loved the immediate gratification of publishing my words and connecting directly with my audience. Plus, writing 2+ posts a week is great practice. I think my writing's improved dramatically. Not to mention, it's FUN. And finally, it's led to paying work. Both by selling spin-off essays and by getting my work in front of new editors. I've definitely been there.
