Hi everyone,
I'm could use some feedback (I *think* this is the best place to post this)...

I've just recently decided to "get serious" with my writing and actively pursuing getting it published. I am working on a novel and a collection of essays, but I've also been blogging. On my blogs I have published what I think are some pretty good essays that I'd love to send somewhere, but I can't seem to find a market for them. Of course I'm willing to tweak them to fit the right publication, but I'm just stumped.

I guess I'd classify them as creative non-fiction...and maybe they don't really have another home but I figured I'd get some second opinions just to be sure.

Here are links to a couple of examples:

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Page down a bit in the sharing leads or networking thread and you'll find a post about the defenders of wildlife or nature conservancy or some such having an essay contest...may be worth a peek for you.
