I am still very much elated. My article made it to the weekly newspaper! Yes, I wrote an article about how my passion for running started and the lessons I have learned from running. I submitted it to the company that publishes a weekly newspaper and well, it was published! The newspaper is out every Sunday and is available for purchase for the rest of the week. It's not the first time that I write. I have been writing since I was in grade school but this is different... I would like to take my passion for writing to a different level.

its always so exciting when someone buys your work, whether it be writing or arts and crafts. its always great to see that someone likes and appreciates your work. my advice to you would be to visit your local library and check out their section on writing. most libraries have these sections. this might help you achieve your goals.

Wow, that is soooo cool! You can now official consider yourself a published writer, somehow. It seems you finally found your niche in writing. That is a good sign that you are going to enjoy and be at an advantage when you pursue your writing career. If ever you have to take any more lessons, at least you're sure that it is something that you can really use. You see, I have a few friends who initially think they want to be writers and they invested in a lot of writing workshops and even travel for conventions and seminars. Only to abandon writing and pursue something else because they found out that they don't really want to write. Congratulations!

Well done! I remember how I felt the first time I had an article published in print. It was actually an online article, and a local newspaper tracked me down via facebook to ask permission to use it. I was delighted, and I still have several copies of it. No matter how much you have published online, it doesn't seem 'real' until you're published in print, in a publication that people have to go out and buy.

Hello, Canellita. I'm okay, thanks - just been rather busy of late, and a few health problems as well. Getting back into the usual routine again now.

That's great congratulations. Writing is very fulfilling in itself because it helps you to express yourself. And when you have your work published it is even more. In my case I found my writing fulfilling when I made it as my job. I started writing online quite some years ago now. And I can say I am happy about it. Maybe you could consider that too?

hi dear friend, sorry first of all for the late answer to your post but I still didnt get to all the notifications. I am proud of you that your article was published and I hope this will be the beginning of many many more.

Congratulations on your accomplishment!That is a good feeling to have your writing accepted and put into print for all to see and read. Keep it up and you may even get a following! I write but am very shy about my writing, so I guess I will never do anything with it. My sister writes for a newspaper. Others in my family write as well. I'm the only one lacking confidence, though. But you did very well and I think it's great for you! Have a great day! (I know you will, are you still walking on air?)

Congratulations for this feat. I know it may be a common thing for few but it is a special moment for one who experiences it at first. I appreciate you over your article getting published. And as you mentioned it is your first article to get published since you started writing, it is a moment worth celebrating. Good Luck Keep it up.

Well, it is NOT really the first to get published since I started writing. I have several articles on the university paper and a local journal. But this is the first time I have one in the weekly local newspaper.

Congratulations. That is absolutely a wonderful accomplishment There are getting to be fewer and fewer print publications on the market so for you to get accepted is really a good sign. Keep writing. Great Job!

Congratulations on that accomplishment. I have been an article writer since 2008 but never been past writing on the internet on sites that barely earn enough to make it worthwhile.

Congratulations! Its lovely to have your article published. I had my first article relesed in my school newspaper, it is more of a one page gossip centre. But it was lovely to see my writing in prints. Keep writing amazing stuff and enjoy. we all will be right by you.
