This lovely picture is of my very first published article!
I am pleased to say that although I started with some apprehension (I've heard some terrible stories about editors and I'm still a wee bit sensitive), the whole experience has been fabulous.
I began with the pitch and to my astonishment it was accepted. I enjoyed writing the piece of course and I've had lots of positive reader feedback.
It is a small start but I enjoyed doing it and it's fabulous having my first byline.
I've been asked 'What's next?'. Well I'm working on a short story at the moment. I'm hoping going to enter it into a competition Writing Magazine. The brief is to write a love story. Hmmm, not as easy as you think. The closing date is September 14th and of course I am procrastinating but I do have the bones of an idea.
Now I just need to let it grow, just like my confidence.
