Thus far I have found my Tweener piece on nine other sites, a few of them actual newspapers even. I suppose it is silly to be so proud of something as my ramblings about middle-age and peri-menopause being filler on news sites and blogs, but it is something I wrote and that someone thought was good enough to bother offering to the world at large for review.
A year ago I was only daydreaming about something like this and now it is a reality. And I just want more.
The job interview went well. It isn’t inconceivable that I will be offered the position. Regardless, I will turn it down. Not just because of the syndication. I am not a starry eyed girl. I know that this is small time. But seeing my piece up and spread out all over the country has been fulfilling and exciting in a way that this part-time job will never be. I don’t want work like that anymore.


You should be very proud of this! You’ve again jumped the broom into the realm of “real writer”! Very cool!
Even more congratulations to you. This is very exciting.
That’s great that you got a syndication! Very cool. And I love it that it gave you the confidence to say “no” to a job you weren’t thrilled with taking.
Yeah, I wasn’t raised to turn down work just because it was routine and not a challenge. Amazing growth for me.
I’m happy for you, but I think you put the wrong screen shot up. *giggle* Sorry.
That’s wonderful, Annie. I’m happy for you.
