So, a few weeks ago, I sent in an interest request to write for an online publication called The Odyssey. I see lots of their articles on Facebook about lots of different things, so I figured, why not give it a shot?
I forgot about it, then this past Tuesday I get a text from the Editor in Chief of the Georgia Southern community. We talked for a few minutes, and she decided that I would be a good addition to the team.
I wrote my first article. It will be published soon, for the entire internet to see, though, I'm not sure exactly how soon. It was due today, so it'll be up soon. I'll post a link here.
My first article is me stepping forward about my mental illness. It's me saying, "I have schizophrenia and that's okay." I'm nervous for it to be published to Facebook, because that's about 400 people that can see it. Not all 400 will read it, of course, but at least a few will see it.
I will still be writing more personally here, though, but I will also be posting the things I'm writing for The Odyssey.
This is an exciting time for me. I'm getting to write more publicly about anything I please. I think I'd like to write more about mental illness and body positivity, especially in relation to my life. I might even have an impact on someone. That person might even me myself.
