I passed a neat milestone today.  With my letter in The Richmond Times-Dispatch, I’ve now seen my writing appear in 50 periodicals (in addition to standalone publications like anthologies and such).  I started waaaaaay back in 1996 or so with my first job as a reporter for the Culpeper Star-Exponent.

This arrives just a bit ahead of my 50th birthday, too — so I celebrated with a strawberry lemonade in Market Square.
