Time To Get Real

A giant milestone

Today is my writing.com birthday. Ten years ago today, I joined this site in order to start improving the quality of my written work. And I have not been disappointed. My "voice" has evolved over the years, from willful rage to a kind of mellow self-awareness. I've come a long way from "Hopes Of A Teenage Corpse" which I wrote at age twelve, to "Visionary", my newest
project.

I have another reason to celebrate. This morning I will be attending my first writer's conference. Although I've received feedback from many people on this site, attending this writer's conference is the first time I will be receiving feedback from authors. It's a very important step towards getting published. I could self-publish now, at any time really, but I want to make sure my work is polished enough to sell well, and perhaps attract more traditional publishers when the time is right. Wish me luck!

I would not have made it this far without all the feedback from my felloe writing.com members, and other users online who have stumbled across my port during the past ten years. A humble and sincere thank you is due to every single one of you.

Don't worry! I'm not going anywhere. I will still blog here, and post my work in my port as I have always done.

Again, thank you. :)
