I'm a Writer!
Last month I decided to try and become a contributing writer for
Suite101.com. I almost jumped through the floor when I was accepted.
Now I have a permanent presence on the Net and if I Google myself,
actual writing credits come up.
Here's my Profile with a list of articles published if you want to check it out;

I'm finding out that it doesn't pay to be nervous or hesitant. If you
really want to become a writer you have to try every market you can find
and not be too precious about the type of work that you're willing to do.
Publishing an article isn't the same as having my name on a book cover and
I'm still a long way off being able to call myself an author. But at least now
I feel I can truthfully say that I'm a writer.
Not that I'm going to give up on that book cover. I sent my picture book
manuscript off to three more publishers today.
Fingers crossed!!
