There’s something much more exciting about being published in print than on the web.
Maybe it’s because everybody’s writing on the web these days. This week SOHI magazine got their third issue out and I have an article in it. I am in print, on paper, for the first time. (Not counting a co-produced zine from circa ‘95.)
And in other writing news: I’ve committed myself to produce ten articles every three months for Suite101. I got a buzz out of having my first two submissions approved, but yeah, nothing like what I had yesterday when I saw my name in the magazine. :D

OMG. Seriously, congratulations! How does one even do that????
You must be buzzing right now. :-)
Thanks, Melissa. I can thank Twitter, really. SOHI found me when I had mentioned something about Bowral, I think. Then we started tweeting each other regularly. Not long after I quit my IT job and started freelance writing, I had coffee with Rebecca from SOHI and it went from there.
My advice: Start local.
Very exciting for you, and, we feel pretty dam excited for you also. Mum and Dad xoxoxox
That’s ace! You must be thrilled, I know I would be, and am for you.
