Your blog!
More specifically, what is “your writing”? Reporting? Poetry? Novels? Feature articles? Humour?
> Also, anyone who's written an article for UKC, could you advise on what they may be looking for? I want to write something for here as its a topic I'm passionate about but can't think of a novel angle to come from.
This is going to sound harsh, but as the writer it’s your job to come up with cool ideas for things people want to read. Go away and write down ten things you’d like to see on UKC, make it as outrageous as you like, interview in which you ask Alex Honnold to contact Dean Potter via ouija board, whatever. Then tomorrow, another ten, same again on Sunday. By the end of next week you should have something to pitch them.
