So I’ve decided to finally get my ass in gear and try to write a piece for one of the local free gay newspapers, like the Gay City News or the New York Blade, which might start to get my voice out there. But I’m so frustrated. I can’t think of what to write about.

I tried to write an opinion piece, but by the time I got to the end, I’d changed my opinion. I was writing about how civil unions are not that much worse than marriage, at least on the state level, but I’ve decided they are. The piece came out sounding like appeasement of the anti-gay-marriage view.

So I’m going to try to write to my strength, which is those slice-of-life-type pieces with a personal bent. I was always good at writing those in college and law school, and I do it in my blog every so often. But now I can’t seem to come up with something. And I’m deathly afraid that whatever I write won’t be good enough and will be rejected.

I hate writer’s block. How the hell am I going to get a career going?
