I have been published freelance, and got my start by writing things and sending them to editors. The Mrs. is a professional writer, and got her start via an English degree and some really tedious newspaper jobs, during which time she wrote articles and sent them to editors. I have a friend whose first book is coming out next spring, and her secret was to write things and send them to editors. Is there a pattern here? There's no secret!

Oh, and look at post #3. That's a list of where to send the things you've written.

Well, you can't go wrong with chocolate.....

Oh I'm sorry I thought you were looking for a vice. Guess I should clean my glasses.

Never mind
