My article's published!

Hey, look at that: I'm published in an online magazine, Writer Friendly:

http://writer-friendly.com/2010/01/26/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-fan-fiction-but-were-afraid-to-ask-by-mark-richard-hunter/

The site covers all types of writing, but my piece is about fanfiction. (Not that there aren't people on my LiveJournal flist who are much more experienced with fanfic than I am!) I'm a regular contributor, how do you like that? :-) Everyone's welcome to sign up; the main Writer Friendly URL is here:

On a kind of related note, I signed up for a creative writing course at the Kendallville Public Library: every Wednesday afternoon through February. I don't know a lot of specifics just yet, other than that the students are free to work on whatever kind of writing they prefer, but I figured it might be a good refresher course for me. The only post-high school writing classes I've ever taken were three correspondence courses, on newspaper, short story, and novel writing -- and they were all a long time ago.

Wish me luck with time management -- I'm teaching a hazardous materials course on Thursdays.

Noble County Relay For Life Kicks Off 2010 Effort

Considering I have a biopsy scheduled for a little over a week from now, this is kinda personal for me this year ... I'll have more info about that and the Relay Team I'll be joining a bit later.

( There will be much going on during the Relay, and getting started early is essential for making the event a success. Volunteers are the backbone of this fight against cancer, and more help is always welcome. )
