gymnastics bloggers at Worlds

In Rotterdam at the World Gymnastics Championships, it was a delight to hang out with Brigid McCarthy (The Couch Gymnast and Couch Gymnast magazine), Anne Phillips (Gymnastike) and Blythe Lawrence (Gymnastics Examiner).

There were many other bloggers, journalists and photographers there too, but I spent most of my time with these three gymnastics fanatics. It’s insane how hard they work.

I can confirm that Brigid is an extremely fast typist.

Let me once again dispel the myth that bloggers make a lot of green doing what we love. We don’t. And neither do 99.99% of the other citizen journalists on the web.

The quality of blogs is mixed, as you know. But at least we’re working with noble purpose. And irrational dedication.

If you’ve got something to say, start one of your own on WordPress.com. It’s free.
