How to submit my writing for publication
It made me
(Emoticons=Stupid) 
"Writing is at least partially about sharing an experience so I can't believe I waited so long to submit my work for publication."
How I did it: I already had a stockpile of manuscripts so I just set myself the goal of sending one out a week. At several points this year, I've had a half dozen manuscripts under consideration. This strategy allowed me to keep hoping for my other submissions even when I got a rejection for any given submission.
Lessons & tips: Just keep dropping envelopes in the mail or clicking send on the computer. I found the rejections a LOT easier after I had received even one acceptance, so perhaps try sending your work to more beginner friendly publications first.
Resources: Check out the website: Duotrope.com for possible publications.
