Question:

How should I start writing??

I like writing very much, and I would like to start this as a hobby, or maybe a part-time job, but I do not know how to start. I think I would like to write articles or short stories for magazines or newpapers, what should I do? Are there anyone who are already doing this?? Should I just mail my articles to their address?? Please help!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Pick up a copy of "The Writer's Market" (2007 or 2008) it gives you details on the types of publishers you are looking for and also how to submit to them. You may be able to find a copy at the library or possibly get it on loan if you do not have the $$ to purchase.

Writing to me is great fun and very therapeutic. You have to be very talented and persistent to get your work published however.
