I'm doing 21 things
So I sent out letters to various magazines, and replied to “article wanted” adverts all over the place, and I’ve finally got a positive sign! A Christian Teens magazine has replied to my email, asking for more information about me, and for a brief sample of my work. This isn’t a huge step, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction! I’ll keep you posted if anything more exciting happens there :)
