Way back in April or May of last year, I submitted a little devotional meditation to one of the Christian magazines that publishes such things. In July, I got a postcard saying they were holding it for further consideration. Today, I got a letter saying they'd accepted it.
They pay on publication.
It's scheduled to run in the March/April
2005
issue.
I guess that'll be a first birthday present for the Player....
I started to say hot DAMN, but decided that was inappropriate in context.
How wonderful, Susan! HOoray!
I'll say it - hot DAMN!
Susan, you can start a trust fund with it. Baby steps!
I'm taking it as a sign I really need to submit some more queries, because I actually have a decent acceptance rate thus far. Just not a good route for
immediate
return on time invested!
It'd be a very wee trust fund, believe me.....
Yay Susan!
Teppy - I didn't get a chance to read the article -- can I still see it?
Kristin, you bet -- except I'm a dork who left it on her work computer. I can show it to you on Monday -- just remind me.
Yay! *doing the gettin' an email from Teppy dance*
Teppy, me too, please? I promise to eat it after I read it! Or maybe just delete it? Okay, stopping now. Really.
Susan, congratulations! Those unexpected held-forever acceptances are rather wonderful.
