I just got paid for my first professionally written article! It's not much, and it's on a topic that while I do have a background in (security), it's not my forte. I'd much rather be professionally writing about toys, comics or trading cards. But it's a start.
I have to thank my wife for sending me the link to the request for submissions. I'm extremely excited and I feel like this is just the beginning. I've wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember, and even though I don't spend nearly the amount of time writing that I should, it's something that I really do love doing.
I might go celebrate and get some more cards, then I can blog about those, but in the meantime I need to write my second article, "How to Secure your Windows".

Congrats!!
congrats man! I can only dream.
Congratulations! Will you post a scan/link to your article?
Yeah, I suppose that I will at some point, once I see where it's posted. It's pretty dry stuff though, front door security!
Congratulations! Getting paid to write is a pretty cool thing. Now it's time for you to start that 1000 page novel! ;)
1000 pages is way too many, I can't write like Neal Stephenson. Though believe it or not I have already written a novel, WAY back in 1990, and it's still sitting somewhere in a box in storage waiting to be rewritten.
