Too Many Books

I am now I journalist! I signed up with Examiner.com  and I have already published two articles. I am the "Louisville New Moms Examiner" and I get to write about whatever I choose, so long as it's pertinent to my local audience. Won't you take a look at what I've written. (Because, you know, I get paidspice for pageviews/ length of time you stay on the page/ etc.) Here's a link to my first article. And my second. Won't you support my Day Care Fund by reading one or both?! Also, if you are interested in becoming an examiner in your town... it's easy to apply! The cool thing is that the possibilities are pretty much endless.

I just checked out the Louisville Writing Careers Examiner , a gal named Jessica Hastings. (A few of you will love to know that her most recent post was on Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maas.) The Examiner is hiring. There are a list of topic available in your city of choice, or you can add a topic that interests you if you don't find your preference listed. I submitted a bio, some personal information, and a writing sample over the weekend, and hope to become a First Time Mom Examiner, or the Louisville Book Examiner. I have no idea what the pay scale is, but I figured it was worth looking into. A little suplemental income never hurt anyone expecting a baby! Let me know if you're heard anything about The Examiner -- or if you have tried out the website before, ...
