WOW--today (October 5, 2011) is the first time in over two years that I haven't had a column in the Leaf Chronicle. I never really had a chance to thank the Leaf and it's wonderful staff for the help and support they gave me during my Pet People tenure --so THANK YOU LEAF CHRONICLE--for everything!
Soooooo, No article in print anymore. But thats OK--I really don't think print media is going to survive the next decade. But still, I am old fashioned, and not having an article in kindda made me sad. It has been a part of my weekly routine that I have had to slowly give up over the past couple of months as we were closing on the new house and preparing to move.
Yes---not writing for the paper has freed me up abit. No more deadlines, no more re-writes no more calling and emailing to get pictures and info, and fretting over spelling and phrasing or erasing part of a story and starting over because I didn't like the "direction" I was ending up in.
No more "grammer -ectomys" at the last minute.
Yep folks, writing 500 words is a hard job at times. Because I always wanted each one of those words to convey a message to you that ANIMALS NEED OUR HELP!!! From the reaction I got from some of those articles, I think the re-writes and the last minutes surgerys did their job.
With the blog, I can post at my leisure. But I also have no editor (like the great Chris Smith) to look over my jumble and straighten out my spelling, wording, etc. So if you see a few klunkers in these words--just remember--spell check only does so much!LOL
So today the blog is the official source of all things Dogwood. Tell your friends--tell your enemies-- they are all welcome here.
