What I was Doing Ten Years Ago
I was working for a travel publisher in downtown Austin, unhappy because I wasn’t getting many writing or editing opportunities. I had had one assignment—a trip to Huatulco, Mexico—but was told there was little hope for anything else in the near or uncertain future. I applied for a job as a part-time copyeditor at citysearch around this time and would start in August 1998.
