I appreciate it all and will take it all under advisement. The book I'm working on at the moment is a Star Wars-ish kind of story and I've already been kind of developing it as part of a larger series. I am also developing an accompanying Tumblr blog to help accompany/promote my work. I have also done some more "adult" type of writing on a lark but I'm not sure that my wife would approve of it, much less of its actual publication. I'm not necessarily looking for a full-time career as a writer but I have developed an urge to create something unique instead of just always taking in stuff that other people have filmed, written, etc. and enjoy writing in my spare time and, hey, if I can bring in a little extra money in on the side with my writing, so much the better. Although my story is fiction, I love writing about politics and would love a column of my own to be able to regularly write about current events (part of the reason I love posting here at DU and elsewhere) but it seems like in order to get a job as an opinion columnist, you have to actually be a journalist. I do have small perch at Examiner.com but I feel too restricted in terms of what I can write about and have made very little money with it so far.
