I can't believe it has taken this long between blog updates. The zeitgeist this month revolves around the Seahawks and their Super Bowl berth. The Broncos hold a slight edge in the Vegas odds, and the country wants to see Peyton Manning retire on top. I just know it will be a good game.
I'm wrapping up my second month at The Olympian. Slowly but surely, I am finding a groove. I was proud of a story last week involving a dad who hopes to rewrite state law so that his disabled son can find a job (more or less). The story failed to crack our website's top 10 in terms of hits, but the feedback from readers was encouraging. Three readers called to thank me for writing it. They were thrilled to see the topic so prominently displayed on the front page. I may not have reached readers the way a crime story would, but I reached the right readers - the ones who will carry this conversation's torch.
