How I did it: people have been telling me for years that I should publish my poems because they liked them so much. My friend finally convinced me to submit some of my works to the school's literary magazine. They're going to publish all 4 works that I sent them. And because they liked them so much I get to work with a distinguished poet in a writing workshop where only 15 students were picked out of everyone had ever submitted work :-)

Lessons & tips: listen to people when they tell you to publish stuff.... if they like it others will too

Resources: my friends really helped me and gave me the motivation to actually submit my work and not be afraid of it being rejected
