Les Writing blog, with tips, advice, and my own writing... 200K in NaNoWriMo! Yay!

...I win...

Thank you very much for your submission! We'd love to include it in the March edition of the Rag.

Thanks for emailing the editors of Sheroes Rag! Our next issue comes out on March 4, so make sure to submit by February 25. You can also visit our site at www.freewebs.com/sheroesrag, and our forum on Sheroes Fans.

Oh. My. Gods. This came in my email today and now I refuse to sleep because I'm so hyper. My first ever publication! It's nothing big... it's not even paid... but I don't care... it's a foot in the door and it counts as a publishing credential so there.


This is proof that you CAN do it. You just need to try. Repeatedly. Often. And one day you will win.

If you have the talent and the determination. You will be published. You may not 'make it' but I think you can.

And I'm just hoping that this is the first of many good events in my writing career...

Dianna,

Congrats on getting your poem published! Very inspiring post for other hopeful poets!

A few other venues for poetry (non-paying) are Creative-Poems and MoonTownCafe. I've posted some of my own poetry at both sites. I've also written about both sites on my blog (quite a while back, though). Let me know if you'd like more info.

Best wishes on your future writing endeavors!

Jeanne

Jeanne,

Thankies! MoonTownCafe... I'd like to take a look at that one. (I have a soft spot for names with 'moon' in them...)

I'm really happy about this and I'm really really hopeful that I might actually get a big break before I'm eighteen. I'd love to be able to survive off of my writing at a young age. It's a bit of a pipe dream, but I am a dreamer.

Dianna,

Have you checked out MoonTownCafe, yet? Or Creative Poems? If so, what did you think?

Best wishes,
Jeanne

Jeanne,

I've been sick, away from internet, and carpal tunnel-y so not yet.

Dianna,

Sorry to hear that! Hope you'll feel better soon--and hope the carpal tunnel will ease up with a bit of rest! Take care of yourself!

Love and prayers,
Jeanne
