Freelance writing

I have been slogging away at my own book idea, and have found a good way to practice my word crafting. By writing reviews of art shows or about local fun places to explore I both get out and get working. It is fun to have a deadline and try to distill an experience down to 500 words. In the process, which takes me HOURS, I have started reading more and collecting favorite lines and phrases. I hope to do lots more, but it isn't so easy. It is a lot of work.
This week two of my articles under the editorship of Alexander Wilburn were published in the "Discover Salisbury" (ct) special supplement to the Lakeville Journal!
