I just saw my first published hard copy article in print in a local magazine!!! How very very exciting!

I have another magazine going to press on the 15th with my article in it as well!

Both magazines reach three counties!! Not too shabby! Plus, the latter one might want me to do a monthly column for them!

I'm all smiles and just had to share!!!

    Congrats.

    But I thought this discussion was about something entirely different.

    I was expecting to see photos
    1. ekim941
      Ok, maybe hoping is a better word.
    2. DocKC
      You KNOW I knew that would be your reply! LMAO!

    Congrats. I guess you'll never forget your 'first'?

    The publishing part sounded okay, but this potential monthly gig sounds exciting!

    Did you get this because of blogging? A lot of people forget, that besides the daily adsense and other monetary profits and earnings derived from blogging .. recognition, offline benefits from online work counts.
    1. DocKC
      No, I didn't get it from blogging, actually. I cold called some magazines and 2 bit. I sent them to my blog to see my writing style and then they requested the specific article I wanted to send in. So, it was kind of like a resume of sorts.

    Congratulations DocKc!

    Wishing you success!

    Congrats on your publishing. Now you are "in"
    1. DocKC
      I hope for a lot more too! And ones that start to pay! Thank you!
  14. genopianist54
    Well, should we open a champagne or what? Congrats!!
    1. DocKC
      or what? I need something a LOT stronger than that right now.

    Congratulations on a wonderful achievement! Makes me think of my first photo sale -so rewarding that someone else in the world actually wants to buy our work & share it with others!
    1. DocKC
      Very exciting indeed. These articles were not paid though. They were free and they are going to plug www.DOCintheBiz.com. However, I highly doubt I will get any traffic from them, and I'm NOT a negative person. I'm just being realistic. But either way, it was really neat to see my work in print and I hope to continue onto some paying jobs!
    2. BennyGreenberg
      YOU will get a ton of traffic and then you will become incredibly popular and a huge success and then your taking all of us for dinner!
    3. DocKC
      You think so, Benny. The magazines are locals and not People or anything. You never know though. Shame on me for not having a more positive attitude. LOL!
    4. BennyGreenberg
      That's Right - Where is that Ya-TTitude we have been talking about. I know you will and you know you will. Now we are fairly intelligent people... can we both be wrong?
  16. mattclark
    LOL, when you said 'first time' my mind went straight into the gutter, I was about to say surely not... but congratulations on getting published. You'll be needing to get an unlisted phone number soon as well.
    1. DocKC
      I hope to get that popular. From your lips to G-d's ears!
  17. Lucyvp
    Lol Mark.

  19. lordiwanttobewhole
    That is amazing!!! What a dream come true!
    1. DocKC
      Well, I do have bigger dreams, or goals I should say. People Magazine would be better, but this was fun too. Thanks so much!

      LOL! That's sweet...and funny!
  26. EeHai
    From viewing your blog, I discovered that you are a very hardworking person. You also takes the trouble to reply to most comments. I think that is a good practice that you preach too.
    Congrats to your achievement. You deserve it!
    Cheers and more cheerssss!
    1. DocKC
      Thank you so much for your complementary words, EeHai! I do my best to reply to every single comment that someone leaves me on my posts. Not sure I've missed one yet. :) You're very kind!
  27. Nomadic
    Well done! I like your blog and I like your style. And I rarely use exclamation marks, so that's a compliment.
  28. DocKC
    Thank you Nomadic! I'm honored that you used exclamation points with ME! THANKS!
  29. princesshai
    Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  30. DocKC
    Thank you Princesshai! I'm still working on getting out some more!
  31. perezstudios
    Congrats. Keep up the good work. What is the article about? Do you think you can get a person in for a job opening as a photographer? Keep me in Mind!
    1. DocKC
      The article is about "How to Psychologically Prepare for Hurricane Season". They do their own layouts for the articles. I have nothing to do with that. If I DO know of anyway to help you with your photography, you KNOW I will pass on the information. We are all here to help each other!! :) And thanks for the congrats!!

    Congrats. On what topic do you usually write on?
  35. Kalinae
    that is awesome. I think it would be a huge pride booster and just an overall amazing feeling, haha. To be recognized like that is just astonishing. Congratulations!
  36. DocKC
    If you check out my blog you'll see I discuss all wellness issues mind/body/spirit. I'm a doctor of psychotherapy, so I talk about those kinds of things. Trying to get a column one of the magazines that published my other article and it's lookiing good, so I'm excited about it. Then a couple more and I could make some money. (Not that it's about the money. LOL). Thanks for the congrats!
  37. DocKC
    Kalinae,
    Yes, I do feel prideful. It does feel really good. I'm going to frame it too. Thank you so much! You're really sweet!
