Janine's Story
Life
Have two kids, a husband and multiple interests- basically there's not enough time in the day. I live in South Central Massachusetts (couldn't wait to flee the cape) but still venture across the bridge to visit my parents and my inlaws. My son just started playing football and loves it (though I'm not so sure I like the practice schedule); my youngest (girl) is starting kindergarten (yay, more freedom for me). For pets, we have a big fluffy white cat , some assorted fish and aquatic frogs- thinking of getting a dog, but that seems a little like getting another kid (all set there) so I keep stalling. My latest artistic venture has been lampworking, which is the art of making glass beads (that involves a torch and thin glass rods)
Workplace
Stuck with the art thing, and make a little extra cash hawking my paintings and jewelry. Have been in a few exhibitions, but honestly, ha...Expand for more
ve been too busy to properly market my work.
Ironically, the girl who once hated gym class and rarely talked to anyone is trying to build a writing career around sports and talking to people. Haha! I've been working as a freelance sportswriter for a couple years now (Hockey) and have a regular gig covering Bruins prospects for Hockey's Future. I love following the story of these kids who are trying to make it to the NHL- and many of them don't.
I guess what I love the most is the challenge- you really have to know your stuff (you definitely don't want to interview a player or coach when you have no clue what you're talking about). Needless to say it requires a lot of research and preparation. I'm often the only woman in the pressbox, which is kind of weird, but you get used to it. Like anything else in life, you have to pay your dues and work through the trenches to earn respect.
