All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Writing A Bio For Publication
I thought about posting this in newsfeed, but it's too long:

Working on a new bio, because I have to submit stuff for publication and I have to write a blurb (gah). So, I started thinking and redacting as I went:

Let's just stick a fork in me. Former accolades:
broadcast journalist with stints at six radio stations, news director, three state broadcasting awards. Sold copy to AP wire service, contributed to national CBS radio and National Public Radio.
Former newsprint reporter, employed by four publications, stringer-reporter for the Milwaukee Sentinel, freelancer for other publications.
Stints as News Assignment Editor and News Producer for two Tv stations.
Editor of college newspaper, and editor of college literary magazine, while contributing content for each. Trained in photography and film development.
Five-time published poet: one national publication, four state journals.

It kind of tales off there. I have personal interests and hobbies, but I see other writers seldom go there. I also don't know how to describe my activity here. How to summarize and what parts are considered prestigeous? Like winning the Dear Me contest in 2014? Or the Heart Throb Poet in 2020? Or, just detail the 1k plus poetry written and what little short story efforts I've had.

Oh, I could say I am activite with two blogs, one where I write and examine poetry daily. I wish I could say I successfully functioned to run my group. But, that's for another day.

I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out.
