I saw my first (hopefully not last) paid by-line today.  It wasn't
anything earth-shattering, just a product review in a regional
bicycling magazine.  While I've been self-publishing a small, somewhat
industry-acclaimed newsletter, this was my first paid piece.  I don't
mean to gloat, but I just wanted to let other misc.writers know that
hard work and persistence (1.5 years) do pay off eventually.
