SPECIAL DAY: MY 1,400TH COLUMN!

MY 1,400TH COLUMN!

I can’t believe it!  This is my 1,400th column for ItsNotAboutMe.TV!  Fourteen is actually my favorite number, (probably because that’s my birthday—January 14, hint hint,) so I’m very happy to be celebrating this one, for sure.

The "+" is because I hope you'll continue to hang here with me.

Someone recently asked me if doing this e-zine is a business or a hobby.  Hobby???  I work an average of eight hours a day on it!  And, contrary to what I feel most people who either know me personally or were viewers of my former show, Karen’s Restaurant Revue, perceive to be my reality, I don’t just look at the page, and think my experiences on to it!  Writing three to five columns a week, with no time off ever, takes a lot of work.  And first I have live the events, (even if it’s watching sports to tell you about,) then ponder what I should say about them, and then finally put them down on paper.  And then re-write about a dozen times, which is the exact opposite of what I did on my show.  On TV, I just, as Johnny Carson so aptly described it, said whatever came into my mind.  No re-writes or editing.  Just—here it is. So writing is a way different discipline than talking. As hard as people thought that what I did back then–just sitting there, talking (hopefully amusingly) by my lonesome for a half hour, was, writing is actually a much more difficult medium for me.

So, anyway, I’m definitely not complaining.  I’m just mentioning how serious this all is to me.

When I was looking for images that defined "1,400 columns," I came upon this house in Georgia.  Look at the address at the bottom!

I actually don’t enjoy writing, per se, but rather I’m happy to inform, and impart information, especially if it’s helpful to someone.  So, this is far from a hobby.  And since I’m also far from being a business woman, the best way I can describe INAM for me is a labor of love.  And a gift to those of you who wish to receive it. I just always hope that you guys choose to unwrap it!

So, today, reaching #1,400, is a real celebration for me.  And the best way all of you can help me celebrate is to follow me on the dreaded social media.  That way, you’ll never miss any of the (what I hope is) fun here.  Here’s all my info:

n1400One final note:  Right after I had just finished all the above, I saw this one Twitter:  “If you’re helping someone and expecting something in return, you’re doing business not kindness.”  That’s exactly why I cannot call this a business.

Happy 1,400 to me!
