As some of you may remember, I have been working on a feature story about the insanely awesome OC Roller Girls for the Orange County Register. It went up today on their website. You can read it by clicking below, and if you like it, please select "recommend" at the top of the page. I'm enormously grateful for all the support I have received from everyone who reads me--thank you!
Right here to go to the story.
The Register has given this blogger so many opportunities and I have taken every one. If you are a writer in Orange County and have a story idea, I strongly encourage you to send it to Andre Mouchard, (amouchard@ocregister.com). He doesn't usually bite and almost always watches his language in emails (you're on your own if you call him).
Good luck and let me know how it goes...

Can I just say how sweet it is of you to lend a hand to other writers out there. I know it can be hard/nerve wracking to reach out to new editors and publications. I'm still trying to build my list. I'm off to read your story now!

Very cool. I am too much of a whimp for that sport though...

Good work. When will you have time to write that book????

Well done! Good story. I think it is very nice that you take this time to extend an opportunity to other writers. I hope they ARE encouraged to follow their dreams.
