asher553I've promised myself that Calendar Year 2024 is the year I'm going to get serious about writing, as in writing for publication. I still have only vague and half-formed ideas about what I want to write, and where and how I want to publish, but I'm working on getting clearer on these details and that's part of the process.
I want to produce both fiction and non-fiction. For the latter, I have some thoughts on moral and social matters that I want to flesh out and build on. Also, maybe some personal reflections, although I'm not keen on sharing a lot of intimate details of my personal history. I'm hoping to see at least a trickle of income from it, mostly for my own satisfaction.
Currently I have a Substack, although I've posted on it very sporadically, and I'm still trying to learn how to monetize it. I'm promising myself that I'm going to invest the time and effort to master the nuts-and-bolts details.
Technical writing is another avenue I'd like to explore; I think I could probably be effective because I enjoy explaining things clearly and concisely, and I know I have a good grasp of basic science, and of the mechanics of expository writing.
So, that's the plan. Friends with experience or knowledge of the field, any suggestions or ideas?
