Journal--- It is not easy being a freelance writer. On the one hand, you feel good when you have written something that is published. You revel in seeing your name in print, and are proud of what you have accomplished. But the pay -- it's awful. I guess, if you have a 'regular' job with a paper or magazine that's different. Unless you live near a city of some size it is difficult for that to happen. I spent way too much time on this travel article on Richmond (too bad it wasn't a dollar a word or by the hour, cuz then I would have made something). I even provided the pictures, but will probably only make $50 because I'm freelance. How wonderful.
Am glad that our 'Master Naturalist' class will continue to meet in some capacity, but I think I miss the classes. And the Mt. Roger Naturalists' Rally was really informative! I spent in a tent for the first time in many years (had a first class air mattress) and learned about several different kinds of salamanders, herbal teas and something about bird songs. There is much to learn about nature. I think they should teach more about this in public schools myself!
