Dearest possums, faithful readers, people who have nothing better to do then spend 5 minutes per week reading my dribble. The time has come to kick things up a notch. I’ve been putting together a pitch in an endeavor to get my weekly wire picked up by a local publication, and thought who better to help in this crusade then my possums themselves. I have some ideas, some angles if you will, but ultimately I would love your feedback.
While perusing my posts over the past year and a half, it’s clear there are topics I tend to gravitate towards. According to my post tags, my favorite topics seem to be Vancouver-centric rants and random occurrences. Perhaps not relatable to the masses, but they certainly speak to anyone living in this city...anyone who has visited this city for that matter. Coming in a close second is what I call my ‘Nitty Gritty Celebrity’ posts, where I report on celebrity sightings, and profess my love or utter distaste towards certain famous folks. I also offer reviews in the form of ‘Urban Cowgirl lists’on a range of topics from food and travel to fashion and music. Politics tends to push my blogger buttons as well.
I’m targeting one publication in particular, who has already adopted the art of the blog. 24 Hours Vancouver online has 6 fabulous feature bloggers and I’d like to somehow squeeze the Urban Cowgirl into this space. So, when you have a spare moment, I’d like to ask that you do two small things for me in the coming weeks…
1) Email me and tell me which topics you can’t live without.
2) Shoot a short note to Dean Broughton dean.broughton@24hrs.ca, the Editor of 24 Hours Vancouver, and explain to him why you think the Urban Cowgirl needs her own column.
This is just the beginning of my campaign for a column so I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any progress. As mentioned in my very first post on February 20, 2008, “I’m not channeling Carrie
Bradshaw, but instead trying to become a writer. So here goes…”
Nothin’ but love possums.
