I'm not a food critic. I'm a restaurant reviewer on my own Food Czar blog. I don't get paid (yet) so I'm not sure I qualify. But here goes: I started blogging at the suggestion of a friend. I decided to write my own restaurant reviews because, let's face it, like most people I love to eat. I wrote several reviews online. Then I began emailing the local/state food writers and asked if they would please look at my blog and tell me what they thought. I added, if they liked it could they please link it to their publication? OMG!!! Virtually everyone I wrote to was SO nice and helpful. I felt they went above and beyond the call of duty in giving me praise. Some even DID link my blog to their blog or publication. Because of that, I started getting invited to tastings, some at 4-Star restaurants! In short, I may just have found a new career: freelance writer. One door can lead to another, it seems. I would almost certainly keep my day job, but every little bit of extra income helps! Hope that was helpful!!!
