One Goal Accomplished!

In my list of 25 things I want to do in my lifetime, one item is "Have something I've written published". Little did I know that would come about so quickly ...

Today I found out that an article I wrote is in this quarter's Webber's World, the fanzine for Mark Webber. I know it's not the same as having a novel published, but it is a publication that's read internationally and has even been mentioned in F1 Racing magazine recently.

One goal down, 24 to go!

Awww, thanks! *blush* Someone asked which is my next goal to tackle, and I said I thought the easiest would be either having dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower or learning to pole dance. She suggested I try both at the same time, but I don't want to add "be arrested" to the list! LMAO

Cool!!! :D Congratulations, Melinda!

My first article was published in a weekly Presbyterian magazine, but because I knew the Managing Editor, I didn't feel the same sort of pride that I did when a letter to the editor got published in MacAddict magazine, or when I received a letter from the Washington Times newspaper, a national newspaper, telling me that they had planned to publish it, but that it had gotten cut because of space.

What??? You mean you're not interested in pole dancing atop the Eiffel Tower? :P

I never said I wasn't interested in pole dancing at the top of the Eiffel Tower. I just don't want to be someone's prison bitch, especially when my French is horrible and I can't communicate with other inmates! ;-)

I've just posted a picture of the article, I'm that thrilled to see it in print!

Maybe we can finangle a license from the French government for you to pole dance atop the Eiffel, and then you can avoid being someone's prison bitch. :D :P

LMAO Now there's a thought. James Bond has a license to kill, but I could have a license to make a fool of myself on a big stick atop the Eiffel Tower!
