Thanks Lex! Yea it feels great! It looks so nice, all glossy and pretty. I feel like taking it out somewhere public and showing it to everyone! LOL Can't beat it as a motivator either!


Yeah, my first magazine article was in 1996, and I basically beat everyone I knew over the head with it for a couple of years.

The main thing is, once you've been published, don't stop writing!



That's what I meant, you can't beat this as a motivator!! I want more, heck - I want to do the Opera circuit!! I promise to work on my manuscript daily from now until it is done!! flowerforyou

Hi all, last summer a trade publication bought an essay I had written a few years ago. Finally word came that they were planning to publish it in the March issue...a friend of mine who is a subscriber let me know when his copy arrived so I started watching me mail...after a week I emailed the editor, wondering if I my comp copies were over looked since I am not a subscriber...the editor apologized for the delay and promised to put a few copies directly in the mail...So today for the first time I got to see my name in glossy print!!! To make it even better they only changed one word in the whole full page essay!!! I have been writing for many years, it is so great to finally be able to say I am an author!

Time to get serious again on my manuscript!!


Congrats.

I remember that day also.

I too need to get back to writing.

:thumbsup:
