Looks like I may have to change my profile soon

In my profile I said I loved to write but I had nothing published.  In the few days since I joined Braveheart Women, I have received a reply from the Editor of a magazine to say he liked my article very much and that it will hopefully be puiblished in April.

I was thrilled! This is the first time I've actually sent anything in to a magazine, or anywhere for that matter, and it just goes to show that you can only succeed if you try.

I'm 48 yrs old and though I've written a number of things for friends and for social groups, I've never before tried my hand at an article for my line of work.  The magazine is a national monthly glossy for business managers and people in the field of occupational safety... not exactly everyone's cup of tea.  But I had something to say, advice to give, and I did it.

It was a small step that feels like a giant leap right now.

Just in case I start getting too big for my boots, I have a couple of critics (my bosses) at work who manage to shred everything I write for the company blog. But I had a whole afternoon of euphoria before the joy-vampires sucked all the good feeling from my veins.
