31 Jul 2008 Back on Track

I’ve struggled again lately with the ongoing writing for money vs. writing for love debate that’s pretty much a constant in my life. The things I like to write don’t bring in the money and the things that do bring in the money make me want to poke hot rods in my eye.

Investigative journalism is, and has been, my first love for a long time now.  But spending months chasing stories with no backing isn’t exactly my idea of a career. So I’ve chalked out a two-year plan, and am going back to school this fall. I’ll be taking classes in investigative journalism, law, and human rights.

It also means I’m leaving India again. This time for at least a year. More details once my papers come through.
