I live in Louisville, KY. I'm hoping to get something going here, preferably focused in the hipster-doofus village of the Highlands, which is our little attempt to develop a San Fran sort of feel. (Louisville is very tribal, and I live in a disputed territory. It's the original highlands, germantown, or paristown, depending on who you ask.)

I'd rather write for paper, with perhaps an online version. To me there's something about having paper pages, even if it's just a rag.
I set out a while back to paint portraits, and it's going okay, but I like to take my time--I'm not very business-like about it. There are a couple of local papers I might try to hook up with, but I don't know much about what I'm trying to get into.

   There's nothing sacrosanct about the kind of material I've found I can reliably produce, and I had thought it might lend itself to advertising. But I don't know anything about advertising, and imagine some people actually do. Maybe those people could direct me, if that's how it works sometimes.

It's kind of embarrassing to have this thread going about how I think I can write funny, but, I do think so. I'm not funny, but I can do the tedious work, and I remember jokes and devices forever. It's probably a sad social pathology, and I might as well try to do something with it.
