Day 12

Heeeyy readers!  I have another guess what for you all - do you remember that story that I had been freaking out about?  "The Poet's Demise"?  I had sent it to the Pomona Valley Review, and had been worried that the line spacing was all wrong and the editors wouldn't read it?  I'm so silly...of course they read it!  And they accepted it too! :)  So, I will be published in an online magazine by April 26th, which is next Friday.  Pretty exciting huh?  I can hardly believe it...I mean, as a writer, you think and dream and wish for this kind of stuff, but you don't actually think it is going to happen.  Writers are so optimistic...Anyway, it doesn't necessarily mean anything big for my long-time career.  I don't even think I'll be getting money from it (which I honestly could care less about at this point - I did get a job so...xP).  The email, with my acceptance, did say that the story would be emailed to all supporters, editors and contributors of the magazine, if they so chose to read it, which I guess could be super  beneficial, but for right now, I'm happy with what I've been granted.  Now all I need is for the CSU Summer Arts program to accept me into their workshop this summer, and I will be the happiest woman in the world.  Well, maybe not, but I'd be really, really happy and excited.  Well, I guess that's it for this post.  I will talk to you all soon!  Check out my story on April 26th!  Just go to pomonavalleyreview.com, click on 'current issue', which is PVR 7, and look for my name and story title: "The Poet's Demise."  It's kind of intense and deep for a short story, but I guess that's what the magazine wanted, if nothing else!  Thank you for all your support!

~Cheers!
