I’m going to try an experiment. I’m going to see if I can update my blogs (www.leene.ws<\/a> and www.lee.elliottfamily.ca<\/a>) on a weekly or more frequent basis.<\/p>\n

I like to write. My wife was published in the Globe and Mail<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and it inspired me. Not because she was getting all kinds of recognition, compliments and notoriety, but because she was doing something that she enjoyed. To try and challenge myself I submitted two articles to the Globe, neither one was good enough to publish. \u00c2\u00a0However it is a start, and I intend to try and write more, to become better at this craft and hopefully get as good as my wife was in May (she’s even better now!).<\/p>\n

So expect more in the coming days, weeks and month(s). I’m going to try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
