Sex and the City

One of my favorite shows. But in the context of blogging, it's got me thinking. Anyone can be a Carrie Bradshaw. If I wanted to I could publish a weekly column about whatever, I could, in the from of a blog. Is this a good thing? I'd be doing work for no pay, at least not any immediate. There are sucess stories. Bloggers who got enough recognition that they get paid for their musings. They say self-publishing is the sure-fired way to make it. Do the work and hope to get paid later. Is this the right thing to do? Are blogs going to change the publishing industry? Is starting a blog the best way to get recognized as a writer? The better the blog, the bigger the following, the larger the chance of someone important noticing it. It's crazy. I guess I'd better get writing...
