articles

I want to buffer up my CV by submitting sciency/econ type articles to various publications.

Publications are not a prob. I can find the outlet. . It is just the act of structured writing that is so alien to me (i can free-verse for evaa).

Any advice other than just reading new sci and other such journals?
How do I think of what to write ABOUT even?

Audience would inititally be other students me thunks.

all help graetly greatly appreciated.
