Recently, I was asked for a writing sample. I don’t get to write as often as I used to and my most recent stories have been for WALK! Magazine. WALK! has been “gone” long enough that I don’t remember what’s in every single issue, so I ended up having to read back issues.

I found myself smiling as I read about The Fatman Walking, Subway’s Jared and my coverage of Dr. Sabgir and Walk With a Doc. I remember how much I enjoyed talking with and meeting these interesting people and others I had the opportunity to interview. I also remember how much I enjoyed publishing the magazine and how excited I was when it started to take off.

It also made me feel sad that I couldn’t figure out how to make the magazine work financially. If only it had generated money (any money) so that I could quit my full-time job… Working 80 hours a week and not sleeping was catching up with me. Oh, well.

No matter what the future holds for me, I will always be happy I tried to make a go with WALK. I’m glad I took the chance. And though I miss the writing and interviewing, I’m glad I now have time to sleep.
