A lot of things have been happening since we spoke last. Mostly busy work and probably a bit mundane for those of you who aren't familiar with the steps forward and backward in the world of writing and self-promotion. The first of each month is always a wonderful time for those of us who contribute to any sort of magazine or journal...release day! So, as usual, the march issue of Louisiana Road Trips was released; my articles appear on pages 16 and 20, covering some fantastic places to visit "off the beaten path" in the Big Easy.
After doing some research and emailing in regards to some upcoming articles coming soon in Louisiana Cookin' Magazine, I then gathered up all of my rejection letters from various literary journals and put together submission packets for another go-around. Try, try, and try again!
My other exciting news is the creation of my new network Bayou Travels! Spending several years wishing that I could find a single comprehensive website that lists all of the cultural events and historic places to visit in the state of Louisiana, I finally decided to create one myself. This site shares photos from the places that I've visited myself, upcoming events that I plan to attend, La periodicals, novels, music, places to eat, and a way for everyone to share their thoughts and photos. I've been working hard on adding to my listings and am quite proud of the work I've done. You can check out what's going on in the state while listening to funky Zydeco music at the same time! Gotta love it!
So now comes the weekend...time to take a break and make a pilgrimage to see the one and only Wynton Marsalis with Jazz at Lincoln Center play in in "Big D". Have a great weekend!
