I am fortunate to be a writer. I have worked doing what I love, even if not all writing has been fun. Writing fun quickly withers if you have to do it for a living. My paid writing assignments have varied in scope and subject matter from the mind-curdling banal to the wildly exciting.
One assignment I rather enjoyed for the research I had to do on subjects for which I have passion, food and travel, was writing for the DaringPenguin.com site, which kept me researching and salivating while luxuriating in luscious pictures of gorgeous food, decor and scenery. I loved the job and am sad to see it end as the site is taking a new direction and/or going on hiatus.
Here are five articles I wrote for this site that I hope you enjoy:

I’d love to be a professional writer! But for the moment just happy writing novels. That’s a shame about the website you write for, but never mind ☺️
How fantastic is that to write novels?! Seems impossible to me now but a some day challenge. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
