Working with other creative people in the Hamilton area has made me feel connected to the city i have grown up in for the first time. I have always felt that i was a weird beta fish in a decently sized pond populated with gold fish. I did not think many people had the same aspirations or interests. I feel lucky to have found this opportunity, and i am having a really fun time doing it.
Writing for a new online magazine is time consuming, but rewarding. Seeing that the website is garnering over 2000 views a month, based solely on word of mouth and social media is amazing. It is also rewarding to know that there are people in the area that are interested in the work you are doing, and interested in contributing to the magazine.
We are currently putting the finishing touches on the winter editorial, with plans for it to go live on December 8th. In the mean time, we have uploaded fresh content such as DIY's to tide the readers over. We teamed up with a local florist, Joanna Aitcheson, to do a video on how to create your own Christmas wreath. Not being much of a DIY-er, this wreath was very appealing and seemingly easy to make.
I am so excited to see where this journey takes me. Testing my creative writing chops in an outlet that really appeals to me is something that i have been waiting for.
