Assignment or Passion?

I'm a journalist. Sometimes I get socked with projects that aren't my specialty.

Yesterday I actually wrote the words, "If you’re partner’s commented that your headlights are shining a little brighter these days, it might not be imagination. Scientists believe that this hormonal shift, causing some pregnant women to literally go bright purple, is nature’s way of helping newborns find the “target” after birth."

Yup. I wrote that. I, the woman whose body doesn't believe it is capable of carrying babies... am writing about pregnancy. But I busted out the pregnancy humor and voila--found myself having fun.

So what about you? Have you ever written about something that wasn't your passion? How did you make it fun for yourself?

  2. Bekah, I write blogs for an attorney that specializes in Social Security/VA Disability. So NOT my cup of tea haha! The only thing fun about it is when it's over :) But when I'm actually writing, I try to have a good attitude about it. That's the only way to make it through things like this!

  4. I'm just busy laughing over that sentence you wrote. Hahaha! Doing a great job for that being your passion. LOl

    So far, the writing I do is all stuff I like. Other than my own stuff, I've been helping a homeschool writer condense and revise blogs and articles. But I homeschool and love what I'm helping with. :)

    1. Awesome! At least it's kind of your passion; that always helps!
