Write A Little Monday -- The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

Well, it's not really an announcement since so many of you already know about my giant writing project. But I am going to make an official announcement today. On December 1st I will launch a new regional online magazine community for Iron, Beaver and Garfield Counties called ALIVE UTAH. It is going to be beautiful and I am so excited.

Why am I telling you three weeks early? Well, I need a few things. First of all I am looking for a hunting columnist for my Explore/Outdoor Section. I would like the hunter/writer to be from my target area. So, if you know someone who would be interested that would be awesome to know.

Secondly, We are going to have a classified section (hopefully and eventually similar to KSL 5's classified) I need people to start sending me their "stuff" to be in the classified section. I would like a couple of things in this section before I launch. It is totally free and you can include an image. Hopefully, it will be up and running soon so that you can upload your own stuff. Until then send me what you have.

Third, I really need short humorous stories, photos or comics from locals for our weekly humor section.

Fourth, I am trying to get a comprehensive calendar put together for December. Do you have an event you want on the Calendar. email me at hugsfam5@msn.com
Finally,
I am always looking for writers or ideas about feature topics you want to see covered that would fall into any of the following categories
Live (Home, Garden, Shopping, Parenting)
Work (Finance, Technology, Business)
Explore (Outdoors, hunting,)
Wellness (Health and Fitness)
Taste (Recipes, Foodie blogs, Food Features)
Applaud (Arts, Entertainment, Music)
Discuss (Local hot topics in our community, Book Review for book forum, Political questions and photos of people at local events.)

I am really excited about this project. It has been in the works for a long time. And while I can't promise it will be perfect by its launch date. We are working toward something that will be both entertaining, interactive and useful to the community we are dubbing Utah South.

Hey this is really exciting! Way to go. I wish I was a better writer and I felt like I could contribute something. Good luck with it all.

Wow, congrats Rachelle! That is really cool! I don't know too many hunters, but I will keep my eyes and ears open!
