I like to write about a variety of topics such as sports, politics, and random social observations. It is really hard for me to choose what to focus on. Do you think it is important to focus on 1 niche or can you be successful dabbling in a few different niches?

Would you say it's like planting seeds & nurturing the ones that respond best?

The art of writing brings it's own satisfaction. If it's about money, you would want to invest a bit more in what pays the way...That would benefit you by providing the time to play in other topics just for fun...wouldn't it?

There's a thread somewhere on CD about paid blogging with good recommendations I want to look into for myself... Since a real job hasn't been forthcoming for more than a year.

Would you say you've always been admonished that writing could be for you? I was since my early years & never pursued it. Now may be the time...

As for your inclinations, community columnists get to write on broad topics: perhaps that could be your calling?
