Writing Round-Up: Sunday August 8th, 2010

Sunday August 8, 2010

Butterflies are part of my new beat!

I mentioned last week that I should have some web writing news and indeed I do - I now cover Toronto Animal News for Examiner.com.  Although I repeatedly tell anyone who will listen that I'd like to spend more time on fiction, this is an opportunity to write about something I spend a lot of time following anyway.  There's actually a large redesign pending for Examiner, so I've decided not to do a lot of promo until I've got a bit more content built up and the site gets its new look, but I'm already enjoying it!

On Toronto Animal News this past week:

• Toronto Butterfly Festival coming to Tommy Thompson Park
• 2010 CNE Horse Show and HorseCapades free before The Ex begins
• City council candidate wants Toronto to stop the sale of dogs and cats in local pet stores

On About.com: Toronto this past week:

• Toronto Fails to Make Frommer's Top Subway List
• 140 Olympic Medals and One Hockey Puck
• Plus the usual Thursday listing of weekend event highlights
