Update on writing 6 months ago

I have started writing in 2007 and have been writing for the local Catholic newspaper. I hope to extend my writing ability by pursuing articles in the local town newspaper and also to start a non-fiction book.

I am very excited about 2008.


Attend 12 Agricultural Fairs
2006 Agricultural Fairs 1 year ago

Although I did not make 12 fairs this year I did attend:

Washington County Fair-Richmond, RI
Brooklyn Fair-Brooklyn, CT
Woodstock Fair-Woodstock, CT
The Big E-Springfield, MA

2007 will be exciting.
