This past summer I was chosen by one of our local newspapers to be a contributing columnist.
The editor at the time told me absolutely NO nutrition commentary.
TOO healthbeat – ish, NOT what our readership wants to read about she said .
So my first column I wrote tips and tricks for feeding picky eaters. Around the holidays I wrote about holiday lights and being green, and for my February 12th column I wrote about my worst and best kiss in honor of Valentines Day.. Which never made the paper. Turns out the editor left the paper and my column got caught up in the shuffle. Since kissing commentary past valentines day is old news, I asked the new editor if I could share something heart healthy. He agreed!!
Today my column shared the medicinal value of garlic and was wonderfully placed on the opinions page!
How hearty is that!
Good for you in sticking with it. That sounds like it could have been terribly frustrating to write and never see it published. Congrats!
Thank you Jeanne – great to see your comment here!
