I was paid by Pitmans, who I worked for as a teacher many years ago, to write teaching notes for one of their shorthand books. It was published but without my name so I loved seeing my work but felt a bit 'flat' about no-one knowing it was me. About a year ago the Daily Mail printed and illustrated a small story I wrote about the neighbour's cat. This was in the Peterborough column where everyone is encouraged to send their missives. I was so thrilled that I sent a copy to every 'writer' I knew, in their Christmas card! My story (unchanged), illustrated, and my name on it. It was heaven.
