Just got word today I will be getting another article published in a new book about Revit Architecture implemetation. Had to do this work for free, but I am the author and it will be published. 2 published works in one year. That seems like a good thing. Resume builder if nothing else.

I dabble in fiction writing, and if it weren't for forums like these, would probably have a novel sent away to some company. I submit work to Dungeon/Dragon magazine, and have had some stuff accepted and then absorbed into larger things. I have been given the green light for a full D&D adventure to appear "at some point in the future" and have been paid for it ($.06 a word adds up, the check came in at around $250) and hope to make a at least partial carrier out of fiction writing.
For a number of years, I wrote a column on Toy Soldiers for MWAN magazine (THE MIDWEST WARGAMERS ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER), which I believe is available on www.magweb.com, called Those Fightin' 54s: Collecting and Gaming With 54mm Plastic Toy Soldiers. I also contributed to PLASTIC FIGURE AND PLAYSET COLLECTOR MAGAZINE. Neither still publishes. For a readily available hobby piece, there is a long article on the history and literature of wargaming at www.toycollectors.com.
I have also published two stories in Norse mythology and one on Scandanavian travel experiences in IDUNA: A JOURNAL OF NORTHERN TRADITION, which has a web page at www.thetroth.org. It was edited by Fantasy author Diana L. Paxon. They were Fenja and Menja:The Two Curious Giantesses (Issue Thirty-eight) The Marriage of Skadi and Njord (Issue Forty-Six), and Deck Dancing (Issue Fourty-Eight). I told the second story at an open microphone up at a New Age retreat center.
Two cycles of original radio plays I wrote were performed by me and a small cast on COSMOS-FM, a Greek ethnic station here in NYC suring a series of one hour broadcasts. There were on The Life of Theseus and The Trojan War. I performed one of the Theseus plays at the New York University Student Center, along with a friend who was a professor there, and one or two others.
Back in the Seventies, I co-authored an article in CAMPAIGN magazine called Introduction To Yourself: Dungeons and Dragons For Beginners. I also have playtest credit on a Sci-Fi FRP.
As a Corporate Staff Trainer and Training Director for the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation, I created a number of small training manuals and even hosted a training video--singing the introduction in a British Revolutionary War uniform!

My latest is out today. It's a historical fiction-adventure novella I co-authored with my dad. Here's some info:
Set against the backdrop of colonial America, Into the Woods is the story of pioneer and patriot Jonathan Wood. Straining against the bonds of Tidewater society, and tempted by an ancient legend, Jonathan's sense of adventure leads him "Over the Mountains" of southwest Virginia. Perils abound for this brave pioneer, who must face threats from the native tribes, the British, and even more sinister enemies, while fighting for the woman he loves and the land that will not let go of his heart. Based on a true story, Into the Woods is a tale of adventure, danger, love, loss, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Wow, I didn't realize we had so many authors on 'Scapers!
I'm hoping to eventually write a fantasy novel, always been a fan of the genre, and I read nearly constantly so I figured, hey, might as well have a shot at it. Still in the opening chapters of it.
Kudos to all writers, be it novels, studies, or anything in between, what you guys and gals do is definitly not easy!

I just presented my first paper on the sections of the F4 at a conference. I am published in the magazine for the conference, but it is no new information
I published a story in Lost Worlds magazine, and another in The Atrocity.
I shouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched, but I should have a published abstract in a journal for undergraduate research soon (it's a requirement of the program I'm in)

Congrats on being published folks.
Most of my publications are obscure engineering studies mouldering away in a university library somewhere. I pulled one off the shelf a few years ago and I think I was the first to open it.
Guess there was not many people interested in mechanical alternatives to precision magnetic vibration test beds.
Back in highschool I did publish a short story and won several awards for it.
It was a story about a homeless teen in toronto called "The Girl"
Cheers,

I wrote a 22-page eBook called "Breaking Into Stand-up Comedy" which is free if you sign up for the email list at www.undergroundcomedyschool.com.
Does that count? I won't have hurt feelings if you're keeping the standards a little bit higher than that.

Congrats, Gulp. Sounds cool. I'll have to check that out sometime.
I just landed a gig writing for my favorite comic book of all-time.
I'll be writing the Board Squawk (tabletop gaming review column) for Knights of the Dinner Table (KODT). I was fortunate enough to score this neat gig after a hasty pre-GenCon (literally held minutes before the Con opened on Thursday at the KenzerCo booth, LOL) meet-up with Jolly.
I'm excited to be involved with professional freelancing again. Yay!

The above are directly related to electronics assembly processes.
On top of that, I've had a newsletter "Refining Vision" which was published for a year or so, and was based solely on recycling metals.
The real masterpiece, though, is the Superfly Circus, a game website that is read by 10,000 people a month, more or less.

Choice articles (use search): Dungeon Twister, Toe-To-Toe Nukl'r Combat With The Rooskies, and an article which was picked up as required reading at a Washington-area gaming university:

Recently I became a writer on http://bleacherreport.com/, a sports site where you can apply to become a writer and if accepted you can publish articles.

Ha! Bleacher report is funny! That site gets Google News links all the time, and it's usually "the Top 50 Hottest X" articles.

Yeah, it's all just people writing articles so you get a lot of ones that are kind of pointless and only there to try and get views, but there are some informative ones too and it's good experience.

I read a great one on the Eagles a while back, have to agree that while there's a lot of junk, they have some great writing as well.
Do me a solid: Write an article about Randall Cunningham, and how he was the greatest QB the Eagles ever had.
