In my burst of energy last week I sent a pitch to a wedding magazine suggesting four possible ideas for an article. Editor came back interested in one idea. I replied with a little more padding and I was commissioned to write it, which is great, but it's to a tight deadline... 'asap'. So I am scrambling about trying to track down singing waiters and magicians... amazing where writing can take you. But I enjoy writing whatever the subject, and of course I'll be paid a little too. As soon as I've it done I plan to do some pitching to parenting magazines. I've a thousand words written about celebrating your baby's first birthday but acknowledging the next year can be a long road in many ways, and some helpful tips to get mums through it. Such as the new tip I discovered at the weekend: get a wheely bee for the first birthday - it will be promptly stolen by older brother but it keeps older busy and in turn, 1 year old is safe to finally help himself to older's toys without being dragged or pushed. For a few minutes at least.
