That Thing Called Writing...

My world turned upside down and the only writing I got done was what went and is still going into my personal journal. It was all I could do after my last posting.

But...I'm in the process of some making some changes and hope to start writing again as soon as I'm settled. One thing that's been nagging at me is the urge to write possible some articles. I don't really know how to get started on it, but there's a few topics I want to write about and maybe get out there in either a print magazine or even an E-zine. I'm not picky. Another thought I've been toying with (again) is maybe writing for Examiner.com or I've been checking out SEED.com.

I would love to know about similar sites, that are reputable and pay for the articles you write and they publish. Also, if you can offer insights/opinions/etc on the 2 I just mentioned that would be awesome too.

Another thing I'm thinking about is can I use my maiden name to write these articles and get paid? I DON'T want to use my married name for A LOT of reasons. But can I legally use my maiden name or even a pen name? I mean if I absolutely have to use my married name until either A) I change it legally back to my maiden name (or other last name...just a thought) or B) I get my divorce. Any advice, thoughts?

So that's where I'm at sort of....Muse is stirring a bit. Feeling the urge to write some articles on topics I feel need writing on. Advice/opinions/reviews on writing sites like SEED.com needed. And lastly...can I legally use my maiden name to write said things?

Any advice, support, information, suggestions....are greatly appreciated.
