You may have actually looked at the homepage of my blog, www.CohenConnect.com, and thought I hadn’t been writing. It may have looked that way, but it sure wasn’t the case. Not at all.
Actually, I’ve been writing – a whole lot!
I let you know I took a job working for a local weekly newspaper at the beginning of the year. Since then, I’ve mostly published “pages” (as opposed to the “real blog posts” I wrote about yesterday) on the blog.
That’s why none of you wonderful subscribers got emails, but I announced most of the pages on Twitter (and some here on LinkedIn) right after I published them. My Twitter feed is open to all on the right side of www.CohenConnect.com (desktop), or it may be easier to check out the actual Twitter website or app if you’re reading on your phone. (It’s much easier to blurt something out and bring it to your attention than writing a whole post.)
The articles I wrote are arranged weekly, from the start of the job to the end, although I’ll admit several were not written on a timely basis, especially over the last month. And my presentation method has improved substantially since the beginning. But they’re done, and I’d saved thoughts and graphics so they’re completely accurate!
I explain how the opportunity presented itself, with the copy editor being off for a few weeks on deadline day, which is Wednesday. I started doing proofreading and improving writing, then writing original stories, and was soon out covering the news as a reporter.
