A new weekly community paper opened in February this year. It seems that elsewhere there is much press about sports especially and also about music and drama, but very little is specific to visual art in the valley. In March, I approached Big Country News about the need for information about arts and the artists, and I offered to write columns to that end!
Whoo-hoo! They loved the idea. Since then I've been busy writing for the 2nd and 4th week of every month. On the 2nd week, I write about a tidbit of interest about art in general, and I showcase a local artist on the 4th. (I'll include my tidbits in this blog from time to time.)
Writing for the paper is a fabulous activity. I have decided to look again at books I had written years ago. Back then, I even went so far as to send some off to publishers and have grown a very healthy pile of rejection letters! I've read that many well-known authors began their career by accumulating hundreds of rejection letters. I'm in good company.
