I Just Got Some Good News

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2006/11/03, 11:43 AM Over the summer I submitted a poem to an online poetry site, and they published it in their annual poetry book. I also got an editors choice award, which I thought was pretty cool. I didn't submit anything else after that as it was kinda a fly by the seat of my pants thing, and frankly I didn't think much more of it. I just got an e-mail from them asking me to submit another poem to be in a specific book they are publishing at the beginning of the year. What an ego boost!! Now I just have to figure out what to write about. Throw some ideas at me guys!!

If I post it before the book comes out it's actually considered an already published piece and they won't accept it. If you want to see the one published over the summer, I'd be more than happy to send it to you KC. :)
