Writer Joanne Bamberger (aka PunditMom) is dead-set on having another column: "I thought I had stumbled into my path to column-izing when I started writing a weekly essay for the newest Washington, D.C. newspaper about a year-and-a-half ago....My weekly essays turned into bi-weekly, then monthly. 'Thanks, but we don't have space. Good luck placing your column elsewhere,' was the increasing response." She shares her effort to find that place on her blog Column Quest (although I can't imagine blogging about writing a column--I probably wouldn't have any material left at the end of the day to have a simple conversation.)
