I wrote the editorial in this weeks edition of the Wilton Bulletin. It was a pleasure to do it, and I expect to do it again.
It might seem thankless, as my name isn't associated with it at all, but it doesn't need to be under my byline.
I got into writing for many of the same reasons I got into broadcasting. I like to tell stories. Sometimes, I get to have opinions. In the case of writing the editorial, I get to do a little of both.
The reporting side of me is different. Certain things, honestly, aren't my bread and butter, but they're part of the job. Early on, I've written about a piano studio and dogs going to Westminster. I did a story about a teenager who wrote a screenplay for a sitcom. Yesterday I visited a group of sixth graders who put together an insanely good display on King Tut.
Today, I sat with a 12-year-old and interviewed him regarding a science fair. Turned out, the kid is a monster baseball fan, who likes Yogi Berra and plays Strat-o-Matic baseball! My kind of kid!
These are some of the stories I've truly enjoyed doing.
Now I can add an editorial to my resume, and I think that's cool.
I'm not sure it will make it to our website, but it's in the print edition, out today. I'm going to wait to post it, simply because I probably shouldn't post it...yet.
