Calendar Girl Blog: Facts & Arguments
For those of you who don't subscribe to Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, please allow me to toot my own horn.
I've been published in the newspaper!
Yes it's true. This morning as I cracked open my daily rag, there on the last page of the front section was a blogging story I'd written....or perhaps more accurately laboured over, complete with very fetching artwork.
A reader reads, a blogger writes fleshes out my evolution into my latest identity of...Blogger.
Indeed the world is one strange place. When I take a moment to reflect on the differences between my life and that of say my mother born in 1913, I can only shake my head. What would she say if she were around today? "Honey, how wonderful that you're pouring out your heart into thin air for total strangers to read."
Calendar Girl loves blogging. But there is nothing quite like having her words laid out on good old fashioned paper. No doubt mom would approve.

I actually went backwards, and found your blog from the Globe and Mail article you speak of.
Google is a very handy tool!
Congratulations!
Sue, well done. Like Jimmy, I let the paperless internet show me your story, published in a paper, about not needing a publisher! What a tangled web!
Here is the link should anyone need to save time

I too read your piece in the Globe and Mail, and just had to find out what the three blogs were that you write daily! In my case I used Technorati to search your name, and you came up immediately.
I appreciate your raising the level of Canadians' understanding of what blogging is. Self-publishing is transforming media. (More of my thoughts on this at a blog of mine.)
Congratulations on being both self- and non-self-published!

Thanks for being such great detective types. Especially Sean....the link you provided still works, unlike the other one I posted yesterday.
Being a blogger is very fun. Still as Rohan states, the general understanding of what blogging is needs to be enhanced...
Blog on...
Sue
