Whirlwind

Jeff Cutler — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:19:49 +0000

I hesitate to use the word tornado because of the recent storms that have ripped through the center of our country, and the topic of things of done today pales in comparison to natural disasters. But, I have been productive and here’s a quick recap…

Here’s what I’ve done so far…

Wrote and submitted a column for SavvyAuntie.com.

Wrote a note to Dave Barry and already received a response. I’m planning to ask a few questions about column writing and the path to prominence. So far everything I’ve heard back from the Barry camp has been positive.

In the same vein, I wrote a note to Dan Shaughnessy and Brian McGrory at the Boston Globe. My hope is that they will speak with me briefly about breaking into the ranks of respected and published Globe columnists.

Brainstormed a new story idea for submission to a daily paper.

Got a note from an editor regarding some of my queries.

Ate a jello parfait.

Apart from the demolition of the parfait, my day has been quite productive so far. I hope it continues.

Keep reading!

I’ve written and submitted my first column for SavvyAuntie.com.

Waiting to hear edits. It’s a relatively new enterprise, so I went ahead and shared my column earlier than I usually would because I want to see if it’s complete, on track and needs edits, or totally out in the ether and in need of a rewrite.

Other work today will include putting together my book proposal for a local Boston publishing house. And finally putting together another column for the podcast.

Keep reading.

Social-media connections

Jeff Cutler — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:03:54 +0000

In an interesting success story that proves that social media and its related networking IS NOT all smoke and mirrors, I’ve landed a writing gig just by making a few connections in the new-media realm.

It took only a few hours to come to an agreement with the owners of SavvyAuntie.com and their related publications. So, keep your browsers pointed to SA over the next few months if you want to see more of my writing.

In other news, I’ve got a few deadlines staring at me early next week. I’m going to use the next 22 hours to see if I can’t wrap those projects up so I can enjoy my weekend.

Until next week, keep reading!
