Late Summer Reading

My Yogi Incognito article is finally on line (click on the First Person Pieces & Features box and scroll down). So are my written reviews of The Overachievers (book) and The Secret (movie). More scrolling required.

If you’ve been grocery shopping recently and asked yourself: “Self? Do grass-fed labels truly mean grass-fed?” – then check out my article Your Ass is Grass. Again, scroll.

Last but not least, log on the Mad as Hell Club September 20th to see my very first Ask a Blogger column (I’m still collecting questions on blogging if you have any).

Okay, okay. Maybe these aren’t exactly the page-turning summer reads available at your local bookstore – but hey, a budding writer has gotta start somewhere!

P.S. Has my switch to bold font made blog reading easier on the eyes or does it seem like I'm YELLING?

P.P.S. A few readers have asked about the Annapolis race. Since I'm on the topic of updates, here goes: the race was fun (though tiring). I did wear the Running for Writers t-shirt and was even interviewed by a local reporter about it. But she didn't quote me in her article the next day. I was SO bummed.

Congratulations on all the new pieces, Jenny. Really good work.

I like the bold font. My 52-year-old eyes appreciate all the help they can get.

And don't denigrate your work (not page-turning summer reads, huh?). You're doing it. You're writing. You're a writer. Every dream starts somewhere.

seems like you're yelling, just my opinion...maybe a different font, not bold

AGGHH! (That was my reaction on your race, t-shirt update.) "Dumb reporter." (OK - that was my second reaction.)

I'm going to have to save reading your articles for later tonight as it's time to start getting dinner ready. But I can't wait to read the "Grass" one. Now I know who to come to if I'm having trouble with titles . . .

nice work! i am interested in the grass fed beef thing, so it was timely. will follow that more closely. i had seen the trailer to "the secret" recently but hadn't purchased it for lack of anyone elses input. will reconsider now.

i really like the contrast of the bold. it doesn't seem like yelling to me.

If you are paid to write, you are doing it. The pages are turning, even as we speak.

The bold helps, and it isn't yelling.

THIS WOULD BE YELLING!

Something seemed harsh about the bold to me even though I did think it was easier to read. Okay, maybe I'll try bigger or different font.
