TV and Writing, Writing and TV


This is a Manhattan subway shot I took a few weeks ago, messed with a bit with my editing software. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to mention some of the writing I've been doing.

Last night over at TV Squad, I had a Survivor article posted. The comments are interesting (speaking of bananas). ;-)

Although I'm still with TV Squad, I'm pleased to announce that I'm also writing for a new venue -- CliqueClack. That site is having its "grand opening" today. The articles I write there are unique to CliqueClack and can be found at my author link on the site. But do check out the whole site! A bit later today another post is due to er ... post. I hope I see you there!

Keep tuned here, too. I have an exciting (well, not like skydiving or going off to Paris exciting) contest with a prize coming up just for you guys!

  3. "It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer."

    Jackie, this quote from Charlotte's Web came to me as I was reading your post. Your writing is so engaging and brings so many people together as friends. You are a gift to us!

    re: collections ... I forgot my collection of keychains. It started as a collection of places I've never been, given to me by my globe-trotting daughters and has grown into key chains from friends and family (and places I have visited myself).

  4. Geesh Jackie-
    I clicked on the link in the TV Squad comments and I didn't see that either. I'm surprised the censors missed that!

  11. Jackie...I went over to clickclack and I left a note. Unfortunately, I gave my real name... duh! Anyway, I left a silly note on the schedule for the upcoming week and changed it to meb, so from now on, it'll be meb.

    rbennie... you saw more of Marcus than you should have... he's mine rbennie... no fair looking! Oh wait, I guess you can look, just no touching! Smile

  14. Whoa! Marcus playing a little peek-a-boo with us. I missed that flapping in the breeze shot on the show. Kind of made my day. Marcus, you da man!

    My husband says it is now official. I am a dirty old lady.

  15. rbennie...I have to admit, I just went and looked. The way they showed it in motion, I had to laugh... sort of tiny wasn't it? But then, I haven't seen one in so long, what do I know. LOL

    joyn...I didn't know you were a dirty old lady... welcome to the group!

  16. Meb, I'm relieved to know there IS a club. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Er, group. Marcus has me flustered, I guess.

  18. Joy and MEB - you guys are too funny. After being married to the same man for 19 years and living with him for 5 years before that, I guess it was just kind of nice to get a peak at a different one, LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  19. rbennie, I've been married 20 years and lived with him for two years before that, and I agree with you. A little peek never hurts.
