One Small Step

July 2, 2008 by Kelly.

I say ’small’ but it feels huge, really. And it’s actually two steps. I’ve starting taking those steps to move forward in my writing career. I’ve begun submitting to regional parenting publications (RPPs), and I’ve become a contributing writer at Suite101.com. Now I just need to keep going. The next steps are: to find a few RPPs to contribute to regularly and strike up a relationship with the editors so that I’ll be assigned articles (better pay), and to become a feature writer at Suite101 (better pay).

Hmmm… sounds like I’m just in it for the money!

So far I’m enjoying the challenge that comes with both types of writing. One is print and doesn’t mind simultaneous submissions or reprints. The other is online and has a one-year exclusivity contract on each article.

I’m really looking forward to the next few months!
