I DID IT.

I did it folks. I've been published. Not to the literary magazine that only a few people actually care enough about to buy or on the Internet on some silly blog. My words were published in a real live (school) newspaper. I can honestly say that seeing my name in print was one of the most satisfying moments ever. Knowing that the paper that students were pouring over all day long had my words and my name in it gave me an unexpected, though not unwelcome, thrill

For a while I had been questioning whether or not writing was really something I wanted to pursue. A couple of experiences had kind of gotten me down. However, printing something in the Trojan Tribune, even though it was only an Opinion Editorial, reminded me that I do love to write. I liked getting feedback (both good and bad) from my classmates and I can't wait to publish again!
