A NEW OPPORTUNITY!

I am now on the threshold of a NEW OPPORTUNITY! After following up with an editor from a local newspaper - I am now officially going to start writing stories for a paper! Yay! Jump for joy! Get Excited! For now, I'm receiving assignments from the editor of the Forsyth Herald newspaper - and I'll get my own byline and published in the paper! I'm not usually one to brag, but I just couldn't resist sharing that bit of information! How thrilling is it to find out you're going to be published?

So now I've finished my first story - which I admit wasn't my best, but I know in time my skill will get better and better. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

Gosh is this a wonderful thing! Finally for the first time after leaving college in May 2010, I'm back in the thing I love doing: writing. Reporting is a fun thing too - work, but work I enjoy doing. Setting up interviews, asking questions, getting some research, grabbing my beverage from Starbucks, and sitting down at my desk to write the story. I love doing that.

This is going to help me get my foot in the door. For some decent advice I can give you all out there - take baby steps, and work your way up! That's what I'm doing! :)
