Top Ten Bets
Hi All,
So, one of the few writing tasks I take on on an every week basis is this section called 'Top Ten Bets.' It was originally supposed to be this simple listings service, which is one of my main duties here at this weekly paper; listings, for those of you not in the newsy 'biz,' is where you just give a rundown on the concerts and gallery openings and plays and so forth, little capsule ads, 30 words long: Jimbob and the Hayseeds play at Cooter's, Feb 23, 7pm, $10 cover. That sort of thing. So Top Ten Bets was supposed to be that, basically; ten interesting things going on that week. Well, the structure was never really hammered out so I was able to retrofit it to my tastes, and since it's really the only writing I'm doing right now, which is admittedly sort of sad but whatever, I have fun with it, crafting little stories or whatever. I think I'll share them with you, since if you don't live in the Maritimes you won't be able to read the paper. They follow below, and I'll try to update every week.
All best, Craig.
