I like your “bling in your blog” approach. Thanks!

(I do miss #12, however….#12 really got the board talking!)

@ Kristy — I am not sure about other writers, but I was very intimidated about scriptwriting, and am still a relative newbie at it myself. I think between the different formatting requirements and also the Audio/Visual aspect of it, people just tend to stay away from it (as well as screenwriting – a genre I’ve never broached but would be interested in trying.)

There’s a lot of talk about niches these days, but I’m also of the mindset that how do you know if you’re good at something unless you try it? So hopefully we can encourage some of the community to explore this medium as well.

I like it…I especially like the scriptwriting addition. That’s the one thing I don’t see enough of on here – though I understand why. I sometimes feel like the odd woman out in that respect. Hehehe. Nice post and great explanations!

I’m not a huge video person, but I know a lot of other people enjoy them. I do like the idea of expert interviews. IS there a Chicken Soup for the Freelance Writer’s Soul? (Now I have something new to google…) Good luck #6!

I like the idea of interviewing experts. That’s how I’ve gone from covering sports to technology, with several stops in between, in my writing career. My knowledge as a participant/student in any of these areas was/is marginal at best. I go to those who know (same reason I hire plumbers, rather than doing it myself).
