First published article, ever!

Postby Destroyer2000 » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:48 pm

It's just a short article I wrote for ViewsHound, a FB app for authors. It was written about expectations in life, and how those can sometimes chain us down. I included some facts about myself, my future goals and aspirations. It's just a small piece, but it's out there on a legitimate site, which makes it my first publication ever! I'm super excited, even though it's not that big of a deal.

Erm...I believe it's based on the number of views as to its popularity, so I don't know about linking to it? I forget, but I'm pretty sure that would count as solicitation, and that's a ToS violation. But anyway, yeah! I'm as giddy as a kid on Christmas about this.

You could post it on the links section. I'm curious as to what you've written.

Rock on. I remember that feeling when I first got published in a magazine (a Commodore 64 program I wrote for COMPUTE).
