Odd and interesting bits about writing

Press Here

This is just crazy enough to work.....

After leaving a great job as a public affairs officer at NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) at the end of March 2013, I knew I wouldn't be happy unless I could combine my love of writing and words with the joy of working with scientists and reporters.
That's how Press Here came to be.
I have been fortunate, nay, damn lucky, to work with and learn from some of the best science writers and the best scientists. The stories I like are the quirky and offbeat, which should be no surprise to anyone who has spent more than 10 minutes talking to me.
At NOAA, I was cheered by the response to a monthly column about language I wrote for the NOAA Communicator. Readers were very kind in their praise but also very quick and correct to let me know when I made a mistake.
I hope that this blog can continue that relationship between writer and reader.
And I hope that Press Here will gain the respect of the two fields it serves - science and media.
As the title of this entry says -- it's just crazy enough to work.
cheers

Bravo, Jana! Having a blog here is a great idea! I have no doubt that Press Here is going to be a great success! Some of your readers may want to check out the NOAA Communicator archive: http://www.externalaffairs.noaa.gov/communicator/archive_noaacommunicator.html. Lots of gems within!

Avoid anything with a high sugar content. It can cause you to feel lightheaded, irritable and even anxious.
