Don't Quit - Blog!

Via Lance Frizzell, I learn that Carrie Ferguson, one of the best writers at The Tennessean, has quit her day job (after 16 years as a journalist) in order to be full-time mom to her toddler daughter. Ferguson was not only one of the best reporters at the paper, she was one of the nicest people there, at least back when I worked there for about 18 months in the mid-1990s. Carrie, you should start a blog. Trust me - it's better than working for a newspaper. You get to write about what you want to write about - and do it on your own schedule. I'd be happy to help you set one up.

"Ferguson was not one of the best reporters at the paper,..."

Bill: an unfortunate omission of "only" which reverses your intent!

Er... thanks. I fixed it.

One of the great things about blogging is, no editors. Sometimes, however, it would be nice to have a copyeditor!

That is an excellent idea. I hope Carrie does that.

I think she should concentrate on the toddler - otherwise she'll be up past midnight trying to fix the typos in her last post.
