My goodness, that's twice now in a week or so that you've pointed your readers to me. Have I become an... essayist? ;)

Thank you for the recommendation.

Often you write short bits, or link to interesting things, or just belt out pithy comments; as do I. But your anchor posts, the long ones where you really lay out your opinions on a topic, are getting really good. *ponder* If I were editing a relevant magazine, for instance, I'd have made you an offer on that synthetic life post. It is far more sensible are articulate than many essays/articles I have read on this topic previously. (It's an interest of mine.) So you're getting into professional range by my standards, if you were curious.

Also, this week has had some choppy bits. When I'm to fried to do real work, but it's not time for bed yet, I do tangential stuff like surfing social networks. That boosts my chances of seeing something worth linking.

Well color me gratified, as my father might say. Thank you.

Now all I have to do is work on my output, I suppose. ;)

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service!

Yes, output is important. If you already know what's important to you, make time to write about that. If you prefer to get ideas, look around here, or use the LJ daily prompts, or browse a market guide to see what editors are buying.
