Beginning Freelance Writing

There are a few good Linux magazines around the world which publish content submitted by the readers. I have been writing for a few myself. A lot of people emailed me and asked me the details – how to contact, how to propose your idea, how to get it approved. You could be a brilliant writer, the next Shakespeare perhaps, but they don’t know that. Unless you contact and present yourself and market your idea to them – they won’t know. So I figured, I might as well an article about the procedure. Heck, I do it almost once every month (write proposals and guide aspiring authors).

Where to Begin

I am focusing on Linux related topics and Linux based magazines in this article. To begin, you should target specific magazines. A plausible list of magazines is, [Read more →]

The link to the movie is a the end of this post if you cannot resist. The movie was shot in 1929, it’s a surrealistic movie by Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dalí. It’s a silent movie shot on a black and while film.

The movie starts off with a scene that can lead to some people puking right where they sit and can make others lose their appetite. If you are like me, you would just enjoy it and expect more from the movie. It will live up to your expectations. The film opens with a middle aged man sharpening his razor later calmly testing it out on his own thumb. He opens the balcony door, gazes at the moon and proceeds to… [Read more →]
