Disappointment

[danaeris]

No article in today's paper. I guess next week? I hope?

*sadness*

I'm pretty disappointed, but really, I shouldn't be so impatient.

In other news, I did not go into Toronto this weekend. I gave up; the scheduling just got too frustratingly complicated. Instead I went shopping with some friends, and got lots of Stuff done. Today I will get more Stuff done.

I also got myself a new winter nightgown, the huge cuddly fleece kind that is almost a robe, but not quite. It feels good to wander around the house in it and be totally cozy warm.

Hi,

I have a suggestion, ignore it if you think it sucks or you've thought of it already. It's just that since you're a science writer, I think you might enjoy going to EinsteinFest (http://www.einsteinfest.ca/) in Waterloo, Ontario, and maybe writing some articles about it. After all, it's not every day that there's a festival celebrating the centennial of a famous scientist's paper that revolutionized physics. In fact, I don't know of any other event like that, so it's probably noteworthy/newsworthy. And the Perimeter Institute (http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/) is a neat place. And the festival goes for 3 weeks so there's probably a lot of material you could write about. It would fill a several page magazine article easily. And there's probably a lot of angles you could cover it from, for different markets. I've read about freelance writing that ideally you want to sell several articles based on the same information or event to different markets, just written up differently to fit the audience. And you could probably arrange interviews with visiting scientists, as well as the scientists and staff at the institute, so you'd get to talk to people that ordinarily you'd have to travel all over the world to talk to. Anyway, that's my two cents.
