It wasn't actually for a newspaper, it was for my friend who I haven't seen in many moons.
Details of Bellerina's latest achievements, walking, talking, poking me in the eye to wake me up (with her feet).
I had to fit enough useful information in to keep her reading, when you have a baby you might want to look in to getting a Bumbo, without turning in to Dr. Spock.
And of course, I had to brag about Bellerina enough to make me happy, but not so much that she just skimmed the whole email.
All in all I think I put together a good piece, hopefully I get a letter to the editor back with a few witty comments about the things I said.
But, it might just go out in to the abyss of written but not read.
I guess that's the chance you take when you're reporting on something you love, but your readers don't feel quite the same way about!
