It's the sort of writing I'd like to do eventually. I have a domain name with the homepage mirroring the blog, and my professional email address uses that domain name. Essentially, once you have my email, it's exceedingly easy to find my blog. In trying to build a freelance writing career, should I avoid publicizing this blog? I'm quite proud of some of the writing -- but I'm not planning to try to sell commentary pieces yet. I'd just like to get some clips under my belt in local and women's magazines and build a career writing about all the different things that interest me, not just the controversial things. Anyway, after reading your advice above, I'm thinking I should use a different email address when corresponding with editors or clear my homepage's link to the blog, just to avoid problems. Would you agree?
