Last Saturday I attended a dinner for seniors over 55 at the Wrightwood Community Center. They served homemade spaghetti, fresh salads, delicious desserts, and beverages. I was very impressed with the quality of the food, and met some very friendly and talented people.
One of the men seated at my table happened to be the publisher for the local newspaper. His wife was with him; she is the editor there. He invited me to stop by their office, and suggested that I write articles on local events for them. He told me that they would pay me as an independent contractor.
Although I was very tired from moving all of the stuff from my parents' house home, I pushed myself to follow up this morning, and went in for an interview. Writing is so important to me, and this man used to work for the Los Angeles Times. It's exciting to be around talented artists. I love the paper they produce, and am excited to get started on my first article.
