My next article!

Hey everyone!


I hope everyone is having a good weekend. My weekend started out lovely as I checked my mailbox on Saturday morning and found copies of the magazine with my next article published inside.


I don't want to be a sourpuss, but I am a little disappointed in the mag. Their editing machines must have been on havoc mode this print session, as throughout the entire magazine, the apostrophes were missing 90% of the time, there were separations mid-word and it just looks very poor.


This is the first time I've ever received an edition of the mag like this, so I think it must have been a problem with the print press. Unfortunately, that poses a dampening balloon on the writers who had articles this month, me included.


I was hoping to give the editor at the Toronto Star a call about the article I submitted to him last month, using this article as a tearsheet for him to look at. Well, that's not going to happen now.

I am happy with the write, just not the presentation.


Nevertheless, it is another tearsheet and I am grateful for that! Happy thoughts!


So, here is the article. Just click on it for a larger view. Enjoy the read!

  2. Thanks, Heather.

    Yeah, it was a bit disappointing, but as the Japanese say: 'shoganai'. (nothing can be done)
