I'm published!

Well, by that I mean that a contribution I emailed for the Marie Claire's letter page has been included in this month's issue.  I like MC as a magazine, a good balance of fashion, beauty and intelligent reporting but was a bit surprised to see my words on the page as it was a negative response to the feature. The original text has been edited quite a bit but hats off to them for including it.
It's only a small step but feels like an encouragement to pursue writing in a more disciplined way as someone might just be interested in what I have to say!
