Squeers and Craig Minns

I have been interested in your correspondence and have come to the conclusion that you are both articulate and comprehensible enough to make some pocket money writing. You obviously enjoy it too.

For what it's worth, you may find money can be made by submitting articles and opinions to such diverse publications as Readers Digest or Crikey for instance. If you have something interesting and topical to say, these publication will pay to print it. As long as you are prepared to get "knocked back" from time to time, it might provide a rewarding outlet for your talents. There are a number of publications that are often looking for something to fill their pages. It has worked on a minor scale for me in the past.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion, snake. I do enjoy writing and I've thought about doing as you suggest in the past, although for the past year my studies have taken priority. Perhaps I'll revisit the idea.

Snake I prefer your writing to OLO, it is straight forward, easy to understand, not long, and to the point which is great, when I have to analyse a writing I tend to give up and never completely read the article, perhaps as you say others prefer this type of writing, the subject here is " No contraception, no dole" an easy article to write about, let's not bandy about with lengthy essays, just to prove a point, I have always understood that hard to read articles and long tend to bore the reader, perhaps I went to the wrong school.

Snake thanks also for encouraging comments.

.onjab. am probably in the wrong place as don't see the use of opinion, except as something to inform.
