The newspaper that started it all
Far from my first written work, but quite possibly the earliest publication widely disseminated. Rockford, IL, 1991.
Talk about old-school, traditional media. But hey, desktop publishing was in its infancy … and so was I! Lovingly crafted on a 386 IBM compatible, running Microsoft Word in Windows 3.0. Credit goes to my folks for the rad PC set-up, plenty of printer paper, toner, and tons of love and inspiration; but the writing was all my work and I was my own delivery boy for at least the first few issues.
