The Columnist

So I have been off on other tangents for a while, but I'm still breathing.

I am going to be a columnist. And the fact that it will be in an e-mag based in NZ (bro) means that I reserve the right to be referred to as 'Internationally renowned columnist, [insert pseudonym here], BA LLB'. I'm designing business cards already. Well actually not yet... but I will have to eventually.

What do I write about? Universe knows. The first instalment is due by the end of July. I still need to work on a title and byline... two sentences to describe me. My first thought was 'disappointed non-runner in bridge to brisbane'.. but that crisis is over - its going to be the 10km so I can get to Uni on time. Yes, on a Sunday!

I'm not going to confess that I had to google 'columnist' just to be sure I spelt it correctly.

The underlying theme of this column is inspiration. It is meant to tie in with the e-mag's first issue, and Spring (when it is being released)... think bright colours, family friendly anecdotes and the whole "oh I'm a busy struggling Mum, but aren't we all, so let's have a giggle over a cuppa" type of column.


Google is great. I even googled how to write a column. This might not be the sign of an 'internationally renowned columnist' emerging... meh.
