I know I have been rather lax in my writing of the blog. I found life just seemed to take over and I didn’t know if I was coming or going.  For my future blog entries I would like to discuss online writing course topics.

Like many of us at Newbie Writers, I am taking the Comprehensive Writing Course  with the Writers Bureau.  It is as the title implies “Comprehensive”. It gives the newbie writer a feel for all types of writing.  I’ve been with the program since April 2009 and truth be told, I haven’t proceeded as far as I would have liked to.  After a year, I have only proceeded as far as Assignment 4. 

Over the next few months, as I proceed with the course, I am going to discuss various topics for the newbie writer, like how to do a market analysis and readers letters.

As I was reading through the module on readers letters and filler markets, I couldn’t help but wonder how many people have actually made a living from writing readers letters? I’d be interested in knowing… is it a worth while market?
