    I love everything about writing.

    Everything but transcribing interviews, that is.

    Guess what I have to do right now?

    And I’m on Tumblr instead.

    Guess I’ll never get that Pulitzer.

    stormingthefloor: markcoatney: Also! Don’t get too hung up on the format. Good writing can be published anywhere, and I think a lot of people spend too much time looking for some sort of legitimacy they think a print glossy bestows. I (Eric) can vouch for all of this. A blog can be a perfect place to develop your voice, and editors are taking notice of good writers from just about anywhere now. This blog, which I started with another guy back in 2007, was my entree into writing professionally about college hoops at the highest levels. Persistence is really the key. Write every day, and keep going even when you think nobody’s paying attention. It only takes one reader - the one who can offer you a job - to make a difference.

    I agreed to write a short fiction story for a friend’s project, and this is where I am on that. I think I’m unduly nervous because I’ve been doing non-fiction for so long that I’m afraid I won’t know how to go back.

    When I first broke into freelance writing a few years ago, I was hitting up everybody for a job - any editor who would answer an email would get a pitch. That’s how I ended up writing for Trailer Life magazine even though I don’t own, and don’t really aspire to own, a recreational vehicle.

    I love writing for these guys, though. I get to write about places I’ve traveled to domestically, they turn my photos into beautiful layouts, and they pay well. Today I got my gratis copy of the next issue, which has my exploration of Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania inside.
