I did it

At the suggestion of a reader on the Writing.Com site, I just mailed
off my very first story. It's a short science fiction piece, linked
below, that I submitted to Analog magazine.

Even if they reject it, which they probably will, this baby step was
the hardest. When I finally try to get my novel published, I'll
probably throw up just from nerves.
