Pondering the complexities of life.

Recognition


I had to get some information from one of our corporate lawyers earlier this week. When I walked into that section of the building, a woman I'd never spoken to before approached me and said:
"Hey, I just read your article!"

The article, appearing in the September issue of the magazine, was about New Hampshire and included a photo of Paul and me. She didn't know me by name, but had read my article and recognized me. I felt like an actual celebrity. It was great!!

My next article will be appearing in the October issue, on stands tomorrow. I have two more articles turned in, one of them describing the American Idol audition experience. I'm in the process of writing yet another involving television shows and movies filmed in the state of Rhode Island. I just watched "Me, Myself and Irene" the other night and it was so much fun recognizing all the places depicted in the film. There have been a surprising number of films shot in this small state.

I'm making virtually no money at it, but I'm really enjoying this writing gig.

That's fantastic! I can definitely see the appeal. It's not making money; it's sharing things that are important to you. I guess that's why I have considered writing articles on wine!
