Happy Christmas Eve! A Little Early Christmas Present/Writing Good News for me – a Best of 2020 Essay on Salon!
Hello my friends! Happy Christmas Eve to all who celebrate.
I had a little piece of good news to celebrate today that I wanted to share, because I know I’ve talked on here about how discouraged I’ve been with my writing life lately, so here you go…
Though I have written journalism articles, tech writing, and book reviews for years, it’s only this year that I’ve attempted publishing personal essays. (Of course, I’ve been writing versions of personal essays on my blog for years, but not trying to publish them elsewhere.)
So, it was a huge deal to find out that Salon.com had chosen my essay, “Marriage in the Time of Coronavirus,” as one of the “Best of 2020” picks. It felt like a huge honor and I am truly grateful. (And this will definitely encourage me to try more personal essays in the future!) A huge thank you to Salon.com and to their editor Erin Keane!
