Campbellodeon

You will remember that a little over 3 weeks ago I posted here about a freelance writing opportunity that had come my way. I am sure you are all waiting with baited breath for an update, so here goes.

Today was a day of several milestones in my quest to support my family through my writing, 2 milestones as a matter of fact.

1. My twenty-first article was published today. I know what you’re thinking: “Isn’t the tenth article or the twentieth article a more important milestone? What makes 21 so special?” Number 21 is special because it was my first article to go up completely unedited. Okay, my editor did change one link, but that was the only change in 432 words. Furthermore, my title - which I have struggled with more than anything else - made it up on the site verbatim. The standard disclaimer still applies - that my writing on that site is related to the content management market and will loosely resemble gobbledygook to most people.
2. I earned the ability, or was granted the privilege, to begin posting articles under my name rather than my alter ego of “Staff Writer”. This is important to me not only because now I can start introducing myself as “Contributing Writer at CMSWire.com”, but also because my oldest son (Son #1) is now convinced that I am actually being paid to write articles. How did I react to being granted this elevated privilege? I submitted my first article under my name too late to get posted this week. Is that classic or what?

So where do we go from here? I am thinking now that I am starting to make a name for myself on the Information Superhighway, maybe I should get this place in order. I have had “site audit of jasoncampbell.org” and “update jasoncampbell.org so you feel like posting” on my to-do list for way too long. Perhaps now I will find the adequate motivation to make this blog something worth actually reading, we’ll see.

Don’t worry, you probably won’t see another of these posts unless I am fortunate to reach 50 articles or 100 articles. You hopefully will see me begin to write about my new obsession - writing. Mrs. Campbellodeon will get a kick out of that considering she already makes fun of me for reading books about reading.

Stay tuned and let me know if you know anyone who needs an amateur writer.
