I have in hand the fall issue of American Bungalow magazine, which includes a feature article that I wrote about a super-cute bungalow in Florida's Historic Kenwood District.
This article was really fun to write, and fast, too: The editor called me in mid-May about a "rush job," and I turned it around in about a day and a half. Unlike my last article for the magazine, I was a little ho-hum about this assignment until I saw the photos - the house is indeed "sunny," and the owner was a blast to chat with on the telephone. She's got a quirky design sense, which I really appreciated - she and her husband use lots of family heirloom antiques and flea-market finds as home decor. I commend the AB editor for choosing the house too, because it's not your typical dark wood, pristine, authentically decorated craftsman bungalow.
This is the freelance project that really got my juices flowing about trying to find more time - and, um, someone to pay me - to write magazine articles on a regular basis. Writing about something I love so much -- in this case, old houses and architecture -- is just so dang fulfilling.
