Yay me! Yay me?
I woke up to some good news this morning. Well, kinda, sorta. I’ve been selected to be a guest blogger on the IZEA blog. I’m excited and flattered and, quite frankly, more than a little intimidated. It’s my first paid, professional blogging gig. That’s a good thing. It lends credibility to what I do here and could possibly lead to more offers through other outlets. I’m getting kind of old to be crawling around beneath houses and on attic joists for a living. Today’s announcement brings hope that I may someday be able to hang up my probe and flashlight and rely on something a little less physical than termite inspecting for my income. Sure, it’s still a long stretch from here to there, but at least I have my little pinky toe in the door now.
You’ll notice in the announcement post that Ted has certain expectations. He wants videos from Mr. Fab. Kissing booty is something Fab does very well, so we all know he’ll give Ted exactly what he wants. Ben Spark (Drew) already produces amazing photos every day, so there’s no way he’ll disappoint. I don’t know David Ponce but he’s only required to be “special.” I’ve just taken a look at his blog and I think he can be relied on to come across. Then there’s me. What does our fearless leader expect from yours truely? Apparently nothing much beyond a “unique perspective.” Perspectives are like backsides: everyone has one of their very own. Mahalo Ted. You’ve set the bar right there where I can almost envision myself reaching it. If I find myself lacking inspiration, though, could we go with the picture thing? I do pretty pictures.

Mahalo Lynn. I’m looking forward to it, too … mostly! I’m suddenly finding that everything I think I want to write about doesn’t seem quite good enough. We’ll see where this journey goes.
