Something I hadn’t blogged yet but thought I should “break”: I’ve been approached by the new publisher of the High Desert Sun newsletter to write for them. I said yes, of course, and the first article I’m turning in (by tomorrow) is based on my Reynolds Pond blog entry from about a year and a half ago.
I hadn’t heard of the High Desert Sun before, but it’s a newspaper-format newsletter that covers most of Central Oregon: Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Alfalfa, Powell Butte, Terrebonne, Madras and Crooked River Ranch. (I culled those from the “Locations” page on the website, it’s possible they also cover Lapine, Sunriver, and Sisters as well.) The publisher found my little corner of the web here and liked my writing well enough to invite me to write for the paper.
Cool! It’s not huge, granted, but it’s a start. Of course, if I become a regular writer for the newsletter, then I’ll need to start thinking things up to write about—I’d hate to have to recycle stuff from my blog all the time. :)

Congrats. That’s pretty cool. Too bad they didn’t base it on your Lost post though. That was classic.
Thanks!
…My Lost post was classic?
I think if you do get a full time writing gig for them, you need to sneak something in about Donald Trump and Mr. T turning Drake Park into mixed-use commerical/mobile home park.
Or something like that … 😉
Congrats just the same! I do miss writing for pay, that’s for sure (was a columnist in college for my college newspaper, as well as being the online editor).
Congratulations!
Congrats
