I want to get my writing out there...

[stretchmark]

I have been a writer since I was eleven. I am attracted to writing short articles for web sites or newspapers and possibly even magazines.
How do I start getting my writing out there? Where do I begin to look for places to submit stories/articles?
Help open my world up to possibilities!
TIA

a great place to start is with your local newspapers, you may be able to do a weekly feature or something to gain experience and pad your resume.
