An Evolving Hobby

I am getting so excited about a new venture of mine...I wasn't going to blog about it until it was for sure-for sure. But, I just can't help myself. And, I figure, the more people who know about it and send out positive thoughts my way the better. I am in the "interview process" with Parenting Magazine to become a featured author on their website. A friend of a friend is an editor there, and my sweet friend forwarded her my blog. The editor was very pleased with my writing style, and loved the content of my blog. Mind you, the content. She made sure to let me know that I am going to need help with html codes and pictures to make my blog more "esthetically pleasing." I was expecting that. So, I am on the look out for people who are willing to help me with html, and I am going to start to figure out how to use a camera that is more than just my pocket-size point and shoot. I hate taking pictures, so, this is going to be a real test for me.

So, part of the interview process with Parenting is, they are going to send me two to three topics, and I am going to write about them. I was sent my first topic yesterday, "Cloth Diapering" with a due date of TODAY. Apparently, that is how it is going to work normally. I basically get 24 hours to write, edit, and send in my articles. BUT, along with my articles will be my bio, which will have a link to my blog. Hopefully, this will generate more traffic, and perhaps, turn my blog into something much, much more down the line. VERY exciting. I will be sure to post my Cloth Diapering article on my blog once I am done.

I am really hoping that this relationship with Parenting works out. I can't see it being anything but fun and exciting for me. Being able to get paid to do what I love, what I consider therapy...writing...MAN. What more could I ask for?!

Keep me in your thoughts!
