Lisa Jensen Online: Columns

At the beginning of 2002, my editor asked me if I'd like to write a regular column in Good Times, in addition to my film reviews. "A column about what?" I asked. "Anything," he replied.

If you're a writer given the opportunity to write about "anything" for publication, the first thing you do is say "yes."

I figured the experiment would last a few weeks before they realized they'd made a huge mistake and give me the hook. But the joke was on me—my bi-weekly column debuted in April, 2002, and continues to this day.

Response from you, the readers, has been incredible, and it's been terrific fun for me. Besides the emails and letters of support I receive, strangers even stop me on the street to tell me they love my work. Here are some of my recent columns, some of my favorites, and some of yours.
