Not a big deal, but was nice for me

erika · Aug 17, 2006

This pales in comparison with some of the other news in this forum, but I'm sharing nonetheless. An on-line magazine wants to publish an article of mine. Since I started writing last year and submitting articles for publication the beginning of this year, this is a big deal for me. And I hope this will help me on the road to book publication. (I know, naive)

Anyway, it's a start, right?

It's a great start, Erika! You know the old cliche, we all have to start somewhere.

As for naive, no. You're determined, and you're a writer. That will help you on the road to book publication.

LOL! I remember when I was pregnant with my second, I ate a huge block of dark chocolate in one sitting. (That baby--now a teenager--loves dark chocolate. And yes, all the weight came off me within six months. So enjoy!)
