http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009908230326My last post was about a new opportunity and I told you that I would fill you in. Well, the big news is this: I have been offered a chance to write for a couple of local publications including our newspaper.
It seems this 40 year old (wannabe) writer is being given a chance.
I have a lot to learn. Aside from research papers in college, a couple of essays and newsletter writing, my experience has been limited to blogging and fiction. Journalism is a whole different ball of wax. Thank goodness for a great and patient editor.
I have also been working on my first novel, The Geriatric Prom Queens, and still hope to finish it by the end of the year. Hopefully, someone will want to buy it once it's completed.
I always wanted to be a writer but never had the guts to "go for it". Thanks to one of my best friends, Paul, and my husband, Mike, I realize there's nothing stopping me. Being a writer is a dream come true for me and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.
Sorry that this is all about me today. I'm not really this self-centered:) Just wanted to bring everyone up to speed.
I've posted a link to the most recent article above.

The sun is shining, flowers are starting to bloom and it's time to get the bikes back out. Agatha (my vintage Hercules 3-speed) made her debut last week for a short ride around the neighborhood. Today is beautiful so I'll take a quick ride before work. I am so ready. Hibernation season is over...finally. Also can't wait to catch up on all the blogs...the great photos and posts. I've missed reading about everyone's cycling adventures. 
I couldn't resist this necklace. Mom bought it for me as an early Christmas present. It's a great momento of a fun day spent with my mom.
