			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blame my mother. It&#8217;s all her fault I got into journalism. I was simply bored around the house one summer day, playing with our new computer. I decided to write a few news items down in the Word processing program. &#8220;Household Happenings&#8221; only published two issues. Naturally, my mom thought it was fantastic.</p>
<div id="attachment_232" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jenniferwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/me_hanging_rock_by_leo2.jpg" rel="lightbox[1]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-232" title="me_hanging_rock_by_leo2" src="http://www.jenniferwig.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/me_hanging_rock_by_leo2-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Into the Great Wide Open</p></div>
<p>I dismissed her career idea. But she must have planted a seed in my head, because by senior year of high school, I knew what I wanted to do: write for a newspaper. I did for several years.</p>
<p>For three years, I worked as a web and broadcast producer for a TV news station, which has taught me other forms of writing. I&#8217;ve also gained skills in Web, social networking, an understanding of TV. I&#8217;ve also honed the ability to think on my feet.</p>
<p>Last year, I began using my skills to write articles/press releases and use social networking and other techniques to promote companies and events. Now, I&#8217;m leaving the news business to branch out on my own as a full-time freelancer and professional organizer.</p>
<p>As I embark on new ventures and uses for my skills, I think about that seed Mom planted years ago.  I&#8217;m lucky she did, and it keeps on growing.</p>
