Sort of - there's a list of available subjects to choose from updated regularly, which we can then put our own spin on. Once I write more regularly I'll be doing normal news articles etc, and talk with the editors about what my MO will be aside from that.

Do keep posting them here. Can you spill some beans what kinds of subjects are in the pipeline in the nearer future or is that confidential?

RE: My first article! [Shameless plug/peacocking]
Nice! It was funny and knowledgeable. Welcome to the hell that is freelance writing. Please take this pamphlet on how not to throw your laptop out of your window. Remember our motto, "This job would be great if it wasn't for the clients."

Just kidding. I really do love my job, and my clients are okay sometimes too. I think you'll like it, and you've done a great job. If you ever feel like fucking around for practice, I have a ton of blogs on various topics that I essentially keep up with just to write about things I enjoy. I don't pay because, as I said, they're just fuck-around blogs, but I'd be happy to throw up a guest post of yours where you can subtly or not-so-subtly plug yourself once you have some more work out there. I've had mixed results on traffic for guest posters through my blogs. *shrugs* Anyway, keep it up.

I should probably point out I'm doing it for free, simply because I enjoy it. If I stop enjoying it, I'll take off Tongue

But perhaps one day I can get some greens for it, who knows.

@Alex - I shall! We mainly focus on zeitgiesty stuff of the current times, I'll be hammering out what my general niche will be in the meantime. Generally speaking, it'll be in the same sort of vein as my first one.

Everybody does it for free at first. I did it for practically free, and even wrote poetry (blech) because it was paying at the time.

Second article! I enjoyed writing this one a lot more since it's a show - The Flash - I'm very fond of despite it being daft as a brush. Takes the form of a look at how it works as a show, and also doubles as a fanboyish appreciation Smile
