Spreading My Wings

I have been finding (I hope) my style and place in transferring my writing to "deeper themes" in theology and philosophy. This week I considered early one morning how I might further reduce my focus of publications -- but with the purpose of successfully "spreading my wings" beyond today's roost. I previously narrowed my attentions to some fifty publications, then about ten -- and in the process (in dealing with a few) got a better idea of "the scene". Here are some of the things which matter to me now: 1. Are they academically reputable? 2. Do they make a comfortable fit with my preferred style of writing? 3. Do they have open access? And 4. are they helpful academically? Will they lend a hand? OBSERVATION: Not everyone would feel the same way, though, on all of these points.
