Gulp. Well, as many of you are aware I have been dabbling in this photography/writing thing quite a bit and despite pleas from family and friends to do SOMETHING with the stuff, I have just sat on it out of fear that my stuff doesnt muster up.... I look at the paper everyday to check out the photography and the columns and articles. When I se these I ask myself... is my stuff as good as this? Yes, it is as good or even better... but then I shrug it off with a "Well, they'll never use me. I'm not a professional." and so this has gone on with me forever....... I work on my stuff... people seem to like it and then I sit on it...
Well, I have had enough. I picked up the phone this morning and called the editor of a paper that is from a bigger town down the road and told them who I was what I write about and that I was very interested in coming to work for their publication. The editor ask me a few questions and seemed to like the ideas that I gave them... so I am putting together a sampling of the photography in the next few minutes and emailing it to them... She said they would look the stuff over and then let me know what I was to do next.
So, here it is.... this is the time to move. This is just the first place I called to and I have compiled a list that sits before me to do the same drill with all day if needed. It's Friday so I might not hear anything back til next week but that's ok.
At least I MOVED.
I'm off to send in my stuff.
Please pray or send a good thought my way in this.... a very scary thing for me.
Peace,
Randy
