    In print, got an occasional article published in nationally distributed hobby-oriented magazines.

    In terms of electronic media (specifically radio and TV), I've been doing it for a living, for a weekly paycheck, since 1973. Does that count?

    Yes, I've been published. What I'm working on right now will probably be something I publish myself.

    Meh, nothing major. HS newspaper back in the day, then something I wrote on my clubs forum got picked up, edited, and put in the newsletter a couple years ago. I have submitted guest posts to a local blog, that got ran and have recently been asked to join staff.

    Its nothing huge, but we are The Atlantic Cities local partner and another writer had his piece picked up by Slate's Matthew Yglesias yesterday. So far I've only had local media pick up my stuff.

    If you do a google search on 'dyson sphere', the first image that pops up is one I drew years ago and put it in on wikipedia. Now you can find it on several websites, articles, etc., where it's used for a visual when describing or talking about a dyson sphere.... kind of cool I guess.

    The bottom of this page has several copies where the text is in different languages.

    Here's the image from Wiki.


    [​IMG]

    A b/w version that obviously came from my original drawing.

    [​IMG]

    A green one.

    And a bluish version.

    I've had a law review note published, so if you know anything about law review, no, I've never been published.

    I'd say the same thing if a had a law review article published. Law reviews are uniformly ridiculous and completely unworthy of being called publications. They're kind of like the postboard outside your local kindergarten, only lacking the substance.

    Far better to have published on wordforge, which, come to think of it, I've done.

    I'm writing an original novel about an author, & his wife & son, who are hired to keep watch on a huge old hotel in Colorado for the Winter. The author eventually goes completely berserk & tries to kill his wife & son.

    This is a brilliant idea for a new book. I'm half a chapter from completion, then I'm getting it published. I hope it's a bestseller.

    Wish me well and Godspeed!

    I don't know. I did a modification on a sailboat and posted a picture of it. Then the editor of a magazine asked me to write an article on what steps I took to do the mod. I guess he didn't modify what I wrote but he added some of his own comments before listing what I wrote. My last name has a double letter in it and he only put one letter and so misspelled my name. Still it was interesting. Also, my pictures were in the article as well, so I guess technically I have had writing and photos published. :)

    Welp, I PM'ed Castle and he sent me his stuff.

    And I'm here to tell you, it's pretty damn good. Captures a mood and a setting very well, flows easily, seems promising (it's not a complete story, but the first couple chapters of one).

    Make of that what you will

    It's still rough draft country, but I'm leaving off editing of any kind until the entire book is finished.

    This has got to be a bad joke of some sort.

    Storm writes his own work.

    I'd like to indulge in that assumption -- I really would. But I've seen other shit he was completely serious about that leaves this one in the dust.
