Exciting News!!

As you may remember, earlier this year (oh! so long ago.... Where has time gone?!?!), I shared with you a story, Papa's Kind of Love. Well, I was so pleased with it, that I submitted it to a little contest of sorts. The local college I attend for Duel Enrollment has an annual journal featuring student's stories, poems, and essays. I had heard about Blackwater Review and had always been interested in submitting my work to a contest, so I decided to do so. I liked my story, had received good feedback on it so far, and realized there was nothing to lose. Well, after three *long* months, I finally heard back: my story was accepted!! Still, every time I think about my work being published—published—I still can't quite fathom it. Hopefully, this summer I will be able to write a bit more. I say that every year, though, don't I? ;)
