Meet the Press

Today one of the translators at my church invited me to write articles for a print newspaper he will begin publishing next month.  He said I can take pictures and write about anything in English, and then he will translate it into Korean for his paper.  The only stipulation that he gave me was that I have to write about things in this city, as opposed to other places in Korea.  That's not too bad a limit, since I don't go many other places here.  I'm actually super thrilled.  (Those of you who know me know of my amateur pursuits in print publishing so I'm sure you understand.)  He said that after my first story he will get me a press pass.  On the one hand I'm an amateur and he's aware of this and he himself is just getting the paper off the ground (at least the way I understand it), but on the other, this is bigger than anything I've ever tried before when it comes to putting things in print.  I am super excited.  Hopefully it will pan out and I can build some awesome writing skills.  Yippee!
