Freelance articles for The Pulse

I have written two freelance articles for The Pulse, Chattanooga’s weekly paper, which focuses on feature type articles like events and local artists.

My first article, which was published last Thursday, was about Chattanooga’s community gardens. The piece is titled, “Get Your Hands Dirty.” This article was pitched to the editor before I even moved out here.

The second article is about The Bonnie Potter, an artist who specializes in textured pottery. It is titled, “Clay and lace.” It was just published today.

It’s great to have freelance work to fall back on while I have been job searching. I was able to freelance when we first moved to Houston as well.

These articles made me feel good about myself, and gave me a little bit of daily purpose. It is very hard to not have a job for a few weeks. Things get boring quickly!

You can read both articles here:
