Hardest Part is the Pitch

I can come up with a lot of ideas for things to write about. A lot of stories and articles that I get excited about, and believe are insightful and entertaining. But what I appear to not be very good at is pitching ideas that seem to appeal to editors of mainstream sites and magazines. I think my stuff seems to be too niche ot not sellable to a broad audience.

But I think my stuff could be popular. It just happens that my super skill isn't convincing many editors of that.

My plans for the pieces that aren't too time sensitive, that if three editors pass, then I'll bring the article either to this site or the newsletter. It may mean I don't immediately make money off it, but it means I do get to write it. If it is as good as I hope, then it may draw an actual audience and potentially turn this little venture into a significant part of my income.

Or I'll just prove the editors right.

If I am right, then I won't have to worry about pitching too often.
