Beginning of New Week

Let's see.. still writing.. Friday I turned in two pet articles. Saturday I wrote about the basics of vegetable garden growing, one re-write on Liberia and one on Libya. I took off Sunday and wrote two articles on aromatherapy.

I did send an email to the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Health magazine in hopes of being able to write an article for them. I've been in ophthalmology for the ten years or so, and I must say that besides eyes- endocrinology is something I've been extremely interested in. I think I could definitely hold my own when it came to writing for this magazine.

Mom got me this huge 2009 Writer's Market book filled with literary agencies, publishing agencies, and magazines to write for. I'm starting to go through that and see what I can get into. I would still love to write for Bon Appetit one of these days... to see my name in my favorite magazine ever would be the great accomplishment and dream. I would just about frame that article. LOL...

As much as I love writing and doing what I'm doing, I'm slowly starting to realize that I can't make the kind of money I want to make being a ghostwriter. I write the articles but they're not really mine.. they belong to someone else. But writing is writing, and it's great practice... very good practice.. so I'll keep on keeping on.

The Week Is Almost Over

I've been a busy writing girl this week, which is really good for me. I like being able to write every day, regardless of how tired I am.

I've written about a variety of subjects this week: Monday was depression, Tuesday was inspiration for women, Wednesday was hypertension re-writes, today I was supposed to write about pets but was asked to do two more hypertension re-writes. I just finished the re-writes and am going to turn my pet articles in tomorrow.

Last week I got a little bit more of a bonus than I was expecting, so I'm taking that as a sign that my writing is improving and I'm getting to be more dependable.

Our Kentucky trip was wonderful as usual.. I love going up there, and I always hate coming home. ALWAYS. Josh and I have talked several times about how we're going to move up there one of these days. So we have decided that once we're self-employed full time, we're moving up there. There were lots of pictures taken by Josh and me, and as of now, he's editing and saving them. Stay on the lookout on blogspot for updated pics from our trip.

Lots going on...
