    For years I've been trying to become a published freelance writer and TODAY my first columns appears on a local news site here in South Africa called News24.com!!

    I know its fairly small potatoes on the larger scale of things but I am totally thrilled!

    Look on the right of this page, under Columnists, if you want to have a read. I am Colleen Figg.

    Just had to share this with you all!

    Thanks for reading!

    Just curious - what is the jingle you are referring to? I don't think I know it (not that I watch TV, plus I am American and not South African)

    In any case, you have to admit it's somewhat funny to see the juxtaposition of your rant and all the little ads along the side (and bottom) of the page. ;)

    Far Out Mary Poppins! That's better than many of the rest of us will ever do.
    (As far as being published...)

    are you sure this aint a phishing site? news 24 is a bbc production - this SA stuff looks like a bad copy of it !

    Hi Colleen! I don't know if we really need more "heroes" esp after the start of the New Millennium, but I read your article and found it well written and interesting all the same.
    Thanx.....oh I left a comment too. Tell me what you think.
