A writer's debut

I almost forgot to buy a paper today. I remembered on the way home from work--barely. I also didn't remember to bring change, so I had to use my debit card for a 50 cent purchase.

50 cents bought me the Friday's edition of the Kokomo Tribune, but the only part I wanted was the first page of the Lifestyles section. My first articles, the Best Bets, were published in this edition. Although my name doesn't appear in a byline, these short articles will be great clips in my portfolio.

It's not like I haven't had my name in print before. I even wrote some front-cover stories for the Correspondent. However, I feel more like an official writer now, because my articles appeared in a local paper.

Happy to see my articles in print--can't wait to see my name though.
