As I write non-fiction as well as fiction, I was wondering if anyone else here does any non-fiction writing or is interested in it?

Often been interested - but never the time!
What sort of non-fiction are you yourself actually writing, if you don't mind my asking?

Right now I am trying to figure out a way to write something about movies. I don't see it as exhaustive or academic, but something more personal. A sort of meditation about growing up in southern California and not being a part of movie-making but being surrounded by it to the point of being unable to escape from it.
I've got a whole list of things I'd like to write about, but I did so much non-fiction writing while I was in school that I had to take a break from it once I graduated. I love it, and it is much easier for me than fiction writing, but enough was enough for a while. So I'm really just getting back into the non-fiction side of writing after a good year away from the actual work of it - although I've been making lists and doing reading for when the time came to have another go at it.
One thing I would really like to have a go at is writing a regular column of some sort. Have to find a market for it, though. I'd thought about my local weekly, but they probably wouldn't have me - I am not nearly as conservative as the editorial policy of the paper. So, the search goes on.

Well, if you'd like to practice writing a monthly column then you're welcome to do so from here.
Simply choose the category you think is most suitable and post there - or else if you'd like your own section somewhere that ask me about that. I'd be happy to help. If you wanted to try it out online, that is.

Those absolutely count, scifimoth.
And Brian, thanks. I may very well take you up on that.

No problems - I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it. Certainly, if anyone else wanted to do similar they are welcome to ask about it.
