I did it! My first published magazine article by FFCF

I feel very accomplished today.

Writing is something I enjoy very much; I find it to be a very nourishing activity for the brain. Writing allows me to get my ideas and thoughts on paper, which is often clarifying, and to share these ideas with others which is often knowledge building for the readers and I as the instigator of a subject. Though writing on a blog satisfies many of my writing needs, a blog is something that isn't edited by a third party,nor is there very much collaboration in the publishing of posts, at least in my case, which limits some of the power of the words.

I have always wanted to write for journals and magazines to share the great work in which I am involved with communities at large and to put my writing abilities to good use. So this summer I made it a point of trying to submit articles for publication and I was successful in sparking some interest!

The editor of Farm Folk City Folk's magazine agreed that its readers would be interested to hear about the devide between skilled young farm workers and farmers wanting of such labour and what is being done to bridge this gap. Please take a read of my submission on pages 20-21 of the Fall/Winter FFCF Magazine.
