My New Writing Venue

ENOUGH! about the book. I just read through the last several entries and myself got bored with it. I just finished an entry, but it has to do with…yes, the book, actually, my conscious limitation of the mention of God in my book But I think it’s a bad idea to post another entry solely about my book; however, not much else is going on with me. My braces, which I got November 1, are bothering me. The wire on the lower right sticks me, Ouch! But that’s not worth writing about, any more than I have in this sentence.

What might be my best bet is to introduce you to a new column I am starting come January. It’s called “Our Nation’s Treasures” and will be syndicated to the weekly papers for Miamisburg, West Carrollton, Franklin, and Springboro, Ohio (to replace “Health Hints,” which I wrote this year).

If you don’t get one of those papers, don’t fret because I will be keeping another blog, www.OurNationsTreasures.blogspot.com, where I’ll post every story that appears in the paper along with pictures. Mark and I have traveled pretty extensively across the nation, and I always keep a travel journal on our trips so can refer to those and write stories in detail about trips we took years ago.

My very first nationally published article was a travel story--with two accompanying pictures--that appeared in February 26, 2003 issue of The Christian Science Monitor. It was about a volunteer experience I had on Ireland's Aran Isles years before I ever met Mark.

In grad school at the University of Cincinnati for three months I wrote a weekly travel column, mostly about foreign travel, which I did more of when I was single; I intentially saved the U.S. to travel with my husband, whoever he would be and whenever he would come along. I traveled solo for about five years before meeting Mark. I'm glad I saved the U.S. to share. He and I have a great time exploring new places together.

I'm looking forward to travel writing again.
