Very excited to announce that a blog post I pitched to Babble.com has been selected and will be published on March 15!
Seriously, I cannot wait to see it up there … I’ve been a long-time Babble reader and love the variety of content and perspectives from their regular bloggers and I would LOVE to be a regular contributor … but for now, I’ll take one of my posts going up as a huge accomplishment.
Goal #1 for 2012 was to submit something to Babble (or BabyCenter)
Goal #2 was to get published.
Come March 15, I’ll have done both — woot!
Honestly, if I could blog for a living I would. It’s not that I don’t love my job — I do! But my real passion has always been writing … relating to others, sharing, empathizing and making a difference. Blogging has been an amazingly powerful platform for me — during my recovery, at my worst, through the highs and lows, throughout my pregnancy and beyond. It has been my saving grace and I know it’s something I’ll be doing for a long time — even though I don’t earn an income from it.
Sometimes, the best things in life are, indeed, free.
Congratulations! This is wonderful news for you. You never know, this could turn you into a regular contributor.
I would LOVE that … one step at a time, though
I submitted a few posts, actually, and am waiting to hear back on the others but I’m super stoked for this one, at least.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you, and kind of want to know your tips
I informally pitched Babble before I was pregnant (I thought a pre-conception readiness post would be kind of a cool perspective), but never got a response 
Now that my situation has changed, I wonder what I could do to get their attention…
LOL, thanks, Lara! Pitching tips? I can email you offline if you’d like! I know Roni is graduating to the Toddler Board and there are a few pregnant bloggers now who will be moms in early summer … not sure how long you have to be pregnant before you begin blogging there?? So stoked for you
Hell yeah!!!! You’re an amazing writer with more than talent, you have passion and love for what you do and it shows!
Thanks sweets!
That means a lot to me. XOXO
