dudemanflab's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upshot Thank you for your fingernail hypotheses. They were most excellent. I haven't told this to diaryland yet, but I'm going to Massachusetts in May for an internship with the MassParks Americorps, an organization that performs manual labor in the state parks and forests of Massachusetts. I'll be there from March to August. Today I pitched an idea to my intern coordinator, Jonah Keane. I told him that as we work in state parks and forests this summer, I'd liked to write about it, and would he know any publications that would be interested in an occasional letter/article from the field. He was really happy and said something like, "I was thinking it would be good publicity for our program and their parks," I said, "and it would help me get some writing experience." "You're right. I really like that idea. You could probably write something weekly for the local newspaper... or... why stay small? We might as well toss the idea to a few larger publications and see if they're interested." His response made me really excited, but it was also funny because his voice sounds different everytime I call him. This time it was youthful and I'd say he was 26 years old, but a month ago I would have thought he was in his late 40's. It'll be a surprise either way when I meet him. Jonah suggested I write a proposal letter that tells what/how my article would be, so maybe I'll put that up later.
