Soo...I'm taking an online writing class, and my instructor said that my last assignment was really good. She said once I fix the few things she talked about, I should start sending it in to magazines :) And she gave me a good site that has a list of them! I could be a published writer soon! :P

That's really some good news. Good luck with that and I really hope your writing would make it to the magazines. You must be feeling super excited by now. So I saw the title you put there; I'm sure you'll be able to fix the things she talked about and you will be on your way to your first publishing. Awesome..

Thank you :D Yeah, there was nothing major to edit, I'm almost done. It'd be nice to actually get paid for something I've written. I know it won't be much, but it's still something to brag about ;P lol

I wish you the very best with your writing career. What is your main interest when it comes to writing? I recall reading some of your discussions about animals. Good luck and may you have a wonderful career and a terrific 2010.

Thank you carol :) I'm mostly interested in writing fiction, although I do write some nonfiction for all the websites I'm a member of (A.C, Helium, Ehow, etc). Some of the articles I have up are about animals :) And a lot of my fiction stories have important animals in them too :P I hope you had a good Christmas and I hope 2010 is good to you too! :) Thanks!

Wow, that's really cool! I'm glad you're having some success with your writing. It's always satisfying to find out your work is of a high quality. Getting published would be a great credit and validation of your hard work. Be sure and let us know what magazine you get into. Hey, what's the site that your instructor told you about?

Thank you miller! :D It would be really satisfying if I got accepted to a magazine!!! And I'd defiantly share that info with everyone here :D I don't have the paper that has the site on it with me at the moment, but when I get it I'll send you a message with the link--there were lots of places to look at!

Wow that's great news - here's wishing you all the best! There are many good article sites on the net including Associated Content, Helium and Constant Content. Constant Content has a forum where important information on how to write a good article has been given for the benefit of budding writers like you :-). Hope to see you soon on all these sites!

I use all those sites! :) But this assignment isn't really for any of those sites. Those are mostly for factual stuff...mine is a short fictional story. Thank you!!! :)
