The Monthly DART.That's what my sister and I called our newspaper. We featured news, short stories, editorials, the Sky this Month, Morse Code Puzzle (I was probably the only one who liked that feature!), jokes, concert reviews (Can anyone say Petra, Petra, Petra?), the occasional recipe ...

I smile when I think about this endeavor because I see just how early these sort of writing tendencies appeared in my life. Now with TitleTrakk.com I'm doing all the same stuff! We kept the paper up for at least a year (it eventually became The Bi-Monthly Dart). I read a few of them recently, and boy were we ambitious!
Then when I was fifteen, something memorable happened ...

Rel: I'm not saying!!!! :)
