Football Writing Career Kick-off

As some of my friends already know, someone from Sportingo.com left a comment in my football blog asking if I want to publish some football articles. How she came across my blog, I don't know and it doesn't matter. My first reaction to the offer was, seriously? Maybe this isn't too much of a big deal. After all, we're not talking about me being the only writer on the site. Neither are we talking about publishing my articles on the national paper. But well, given that I'm a newbiew to all things football, yes, 7 months of fanaticism is still pristine compared to the million others who have already spent half their lifetimes following the sport.

Given my utter love for the game, of course, I said yes to it. I won't get paid of course. There's no commitment as well to the number of articles I'd have to submit every week/month. I submit at my own volition. Moreover, this gives me the feeling of taking my love for the sport a step further. I'm not expert in the sport but I guess I know enough to be able to write something about it and my team. I was far from being an A student in my English classes back in college (take note: I finished college just 9 months ago) but I guess I can write pretty decently.

So I submitted my first article yesterday and people at Sportingo were surely busy working people, even during the holidays. Remember it was the 24th yesterday and just hours after I submitted my first ever articles, I already saw it on their site. Hurrah, hurrah!

That was from the main site. By the way, when I checked this morning, there were already 2 comments and one of them was: "You are a cunt!" Way to gooo! Ha. Ha. Ha. The admin apparently found it offensive and therefore, deleted it. Now there's just one left.

This is a preview of my article on the site:
Thinking about it, I'd want to make this part of whatever I'll be doing in the future. Seriously. If I can't play football, (my status message in yahoo messenger the other day said: Hey, it might be too late for me to become a striker or a midfielder or a defender, but it ain't too late to become a goalie! Or something like that) I could only follow it and write about it. After all, I maintain a footie blog. So why not continue, right?

For anyone interested (though I doubt there's anyone out there), feel free to check out my article.

Happy Holidays! Cheers!
