So I'm a published writer! YAY for me! Jordan tried to convince me to put my stories here on the blog, but I think it will be easier to just post the link to the website. Here it is:
suunews.com
Easy enough, right? I'm pretty sure if you search my name, you'll be able to find the stories and articles I've done so far this year. Don't miss my story on the religious panel and matching opinion article, as well as the opinion article on dating and matching scathing comments from readers. I thought it was in good humor, but apparently it is easier to offend people than I thought.
Emma just finished her first practicum in the block, meaning she took over a class of 4th graders all by herself for two whole days! She is so brave. She'll be going to Price in a few weeks to do the same thing, and I won't see her for an entire week! =...(
Thankfully the newspaper has taken over my life sufficiently that I should remain fairly occupied for the duration of her absence.
I was planning on doing the newspaper thing for the rest of school, but Emma and I have prayerfully decided that I'm going to shift back to my original plan-- radio! The plan is to give up this particularly insufficient source of income/insatiable consumer of time job for a better paying one, and just do the radio practicums and gun for a payed internship over the summer. I'll still write of course, there's nothing wrong with a bit of freelance to supplement an income, but we'll see how well it all works out in the long run. That's about it for now, if we remember to update this thing more frequently we might get some more random funny stuff. Yay Autumn, BOO Winter!
Cool beans Brennan! Can't wait to read your written word! Way to go Emma on conquering the 4th graders!
ReplyDeleteYou go, bro! I'm so excited for you guys to make your dreams come true. Go for it, give it everything you've got. And good luck to Emma in her teaching practicums, Yea!
ReplyDeleteRemember, Broski... As soon as you get some good air time, we need to do our talk show.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Broski. I saw only three opinion pieces. Were there more? Your journalistic writing is excellent. Although, reading through all of your articles makes me glad I can write for fun, and that it is not my job to objectively report the news. But the latter definitely lends cred to the former.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, comment forums on opinion pieces are maddening. I just read this opinion piece about immodest dress among adolescent girls at the Iron County Fair.... Excellent article. And Silverwolf from the comment forum is now my anonymous hero for doing battle with the legions of morons that believe you are wrong to be offended if someone parades naked into the middle of the street, cuts himself, urinates on the American Flag, shouts profanities and then flips you off--all in the name of "free speech."
My sincerest hope is that each of these society-destroying, bottomlessly selfish degenerates is judged in the hereafter by none other than the founding fathers themselves.
Now, I know that if I were to have posted those comments in a public forum, I would sound like an emotionally charged, mud-slinging religious or political zealot--just like the rest against whom I rail. But that's why I save my sentiments for broski's blog... ;P
