    Congratulations! What did you write? Where?

    I have, only once, a short story in a literary magazine. It happened a year after I had sent my stuff, I remember initially the editor told me that he hated my poetry (I don't blame him), but liked my prose. I don't even have the damn thing, because I no longer lived in Santo Domingo when it was published. My mom does.

    LOL

    Considering that there's stuff like 50 shades of Gray out there, not very hard!

    Actually... one of my articles was published in a conspiracy magazine -- The Dot Connector -- but I am not really sure that counts. That was back in 2008-2009.

    Oh it's not that hard. But it's still kindda neat.

    Well, for professional reasons, I'd rather not say where and all that hoopla. Hundreds of thousands of subscribers will read my article, though.

    Look out world! My opinions will change a generation !!!! *glee*

    Peer reviewed journal or something?

    I've been published a handful of times. Wish I could make a career out of it, but I never had the dedication I guess. One day I plan to write a book.
