To be a writer. Even a low-paid or not paid at all writer. With the power of the Internet and the clicking of the keyboard, anyone can make a difference...a real difference. I won't go into detail, because some of the things I do and the people I talk to....they are not bad or anything..but they hold highly controversial points of view. Not all journalists are created equal and there are people who get to say things that I wouldn't dare even mention. However, I can tell certain folks things that I find out in all my reading and researching...and they can give them the public attention they deserve.
I love it... when I see something making the news on Facebook or some place like that and just know....

I read some place that being a writer is the only profession people can have and make little money, but still have people's respect. :)

Jan, I like that idea!
ReplyDeleteLisa, thank you...you are so darned kind to me
Dani, thanks
anon, thanks, I did and I was very pleased. About time common sense prevailed over poorly informed New York City do-gooders. Even farm laborers were scared stiff of what the bill would bring.
hmmmm . .. I'd missed this post and I think I know to what you're referring.

Cathy, mostly AR stuff that I pass along to where it will do the most good, but there was another issue that I called a local legislator about and the next thing I know it was all over the news. I am sure other people called too, but it is a great feeling to see such stuff addressed.
