It’s the first week of my being unemployed for the first time since I was old enough to collect a paycheck, mostly due to my new role as a mother and partly due to other factors such as the slow, painful death of the newspaper industry. But I want to keep writing, editing, thinking. And so this blog begins.
If I seem cynical or sarcastic, it’s because I’ve spent too much time in newsrooms. But now that I’m spending most of my time with a baby, I’m sure I’ll be sweet and sugary and sickeningly cheerful in no time.
