Yesterday brought some exciting news about my interview with TAMN, the Mormon mommy blog satirist, for The Mormon Women Project (MWP).
According to an email from the editor of MWP, "Salon.com, the very well-regarded online magazine, featured an article that mentioned the MWP. Traffic to the site this weekend was huge and Nollie's interview with the author of Seriously So Blessed (the interview that is mentioned specifically in the article) has now been read over 11,000 times!"
It's fun to switch into what Andy refers to as "journalist mode" and come up with questions to spur thought-provoking conversations with fascinating people. The editing part where you take a long transcript and piece it into a coherent, concise final product is good brain exercise as well. How lucky that everyone I meet is interesting fodder for conversation, so thanks (or apologies) to everyone I've ever "interrogated."
Here's the salon.com article Why I Can't Stop Reading Mormon Housewife Blogs.
Are you a fan of any of the blogs mentioned in the article or any similar ones? Of if those aren't your cup of tea, what type of blogs do you frequent?
P.S. Shameless plug alert!!! Check the MWP website for a new interview tomorrow. Many thanks to a good friend for referring me to this inspiring woman who has dealt with the loss of a child in infancy and raising a profoundly autistic son with grace, humor, and wisdom. An amazing woman who sees herself as anything but.

I just read the post yesterday and was going to call today to congratulate you! Wow, Nollie! My mom sent me the article not realizing it was you who had done the interview. Big time. I'm so proud of you!
Wow, apparently everyone reads Salon.com but me and I'm the last to know about the article. :) Was it posted on some other website or blog?
Congratulations Nollie! What an accomplishment. :) I heard about the article on Saturday but just skimmed it and not making the connection to you. One blog that I absolutely love is the r house. It's an adoption blog. Wonderful.
nice! you are SO close to famous i can taste it! :)
Loved that article!! You've got so much to share and so glad it's getting recognized by many!
You're on the brink of celebrity status...and since that's the case...can we be "friends"? Not like I'm ever on it, but it could be fun...right?
I saw that too Nollie, and thought it was awesome! Way to go!!
