While I wish that I can report that I've been so busy later because I am always taking overnight road trips with friends or getting a book published or something exciting, it is really because I am writing articles in a magazine for rich families. That said, some of the stories are definitely more interesting than others. I had four pieces in the March issue, ranging from two 100 word write ups on family-friendly resorts to a few hundred words on a new exhibit on evolution at the American Museum of Natural History to a four page piece on neighborhoods that are good for (wealthy) families. (If you are my parents or in-laws, I have hard copies for you, so you need not print these.)
The last article, and money shot so to speak, was a seven page fluff article on new luxury condos that families should consider moving to. Even the magazine staff refer to these types of articles as "real estate porn," which is a perfect description of it. Seriously, I felt dirty when I was working on it and every time I look at the damn thing, my soul dies a little bit. I don't have it scanned in yet; I can't bring myself to do it.

I got a hard copy of the magazine. I consider myself family because of it.
ReplyDeleteBut the articles did make me want to live in those places. They were like infomercials late at night... they start to sound great. Then I slapped myself.
Here I am an International Business Consultant, who blogs for a hobby, and I'm now linked to a pro? My ego is inflating way too much.
ReplyDeleteI am quite honored.
