Open my Eyes...

Thoughts of an Orthodox girl from California adjusting to Manhattan life as a college student and attempting to understand her place within the Jewish people.

Beginnings.

I am......
Getting published!!
I've been working for a group of five publications for the past six months or so, and I've been writing a lot of articles for them - but of course, they usually only make it to the (not-so-well-known) web site, because I'm just a lowly intern.

HOWEVER.....
I wrote an article recently that I'm really proud of - it represents some big changes in how I write - and my Editor-in-Chief said that she wanted to put it in our April issue! IN PRINT!

Alright, so its not the New York Times - but I haven't ever been featured in a "real" magazine or publication before! (Not since I wrote a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle when I was ten...)

I'm so rejuvinated, and I'm not giving this up. It's not having my name published that I'm interested in - maybe I'm naive, but I feel like what I wrote will have a positive effect on the people who read it - okay, at least SOMEONE who reads it.
And that's all I can ask for!

Congratulations. I remember what the first time in print feels like... of course, I've only done little things and I have no idea what kind of article you've written, though I'm really curious...

Are you going to reveal the publication? How come your profile does not link to your blog? My writing has always stunk. I think its because I never liked to read. Now that I read more my writing has gotten a little better.
