Scott Keneally: Writer at Large


BEWARE OF VERY ROUGH FIRST DRAFTS. Don't expect anything too pretty or polished. I'm simply trying to squeeze out some rough ideas across the face of this blog. These musings may or may not find their way to the pages of my book. But as you will see, I'm taking certain liberties in voice and style that deviate from my published writings. I hope you enjoy, in spite of all of that.

JANE magazine picks up "My Super Bowl Blues"

Three years ago, almost to the day, I got my first call from Esther Haynes, writer/editor for JANE Magazine. She said she wanted to publish my misadventures in bedwetting. I played it cool for about five minutes, until we said goodbye. That's when the hooting and hollaring and howling began. I had spent the better part of a year pestering the magazine's extraordinarily funny editor, Jeff Johnson. Mostly because I believed JANE was my voice, my audience, my magazine. Perseverance finally paid off and he passed my story along to Esther for their "It Happened to Me" column. That was published in June/July of '03.

Luckily, she also found the humor in my tearjerk reaction to a Super Bowl commercial. That will be published in May '06.
