I had a meeting with the editor of the local newspaper today and, unless something really bad (or really good) happens, I'll start working for them soon. It would only be a collaboration and the pay is extremely low, but a) I'll get a foot in the door and b) it's better than staying home doing nothing but job-hunting.

I'm looking forward to meeting the others on Thursday. Apparently there are a few areas where help is badly needed, because no one wants to write about certain things: namely sport, education and health. Personally, I wouldn't mind writing about any of those themes, so that shouldn't be a problem. Besides, they'll teach me how to use QuarkXPress and InDesign, which may come in handy in future.

So, yeah, today wasn't completely wasted. :) I'm not getting overly optimistic, but it's good to finally have something to look forward to.

It's still early to congratulate me. Let's wait until after I get an article published... ;)

Yes, and if I can learn something out of it that's even better! :)
