I love this place! Haven't posted here in a long time, and it's so nice to be back. Now that my youngest "baby" is 2 1/2, I want to write articles again. I have a few published articles under my belt in my chosen niche (alternative health and wellness), and would love some advice on the best way to move forward:
For those of you with little ones or caring for others most of the day while attempting to slice out a bit of time for your writing, which type of writing assignments are you pursuing? For example, are you:
1. Using your time to query mags in your chosen field? If so, are you seeking assignments w/ little interviewing and/or researching? I would love to hear about that.
2. Writing for content sites like Examiner, About, Suite101?
3. Writing for businesses?
Thanks for any insight. I'm really at crossroads- I know that I could get a gig writing for content sites, but that would mean that all of my writing time is used up doing work that wouldn't give me more experience with print, which is where I really want to be (or e-zines are ok, if I can find some that $$ enough to justify working harder and longer on fewer articles).
