Woo Hoo!
One of my poems was accepted for publication in Literary Mama!!! It should be published in the January issue (how appropriate!). This is my first publication in a few years, so with any luck it will be the first of many.
I know journals and magazines are weeding through their slush piles now, but it almost seems coincidental that I received a rejection on the same day from another journal. But I don't care, because I'm on top of the world! Besides the publication, there's just a lot of good stuff going on-- I feel as if I'm accomplishing almost everything I set out to do in 2006. Hope to blog about it over the next few days.
Can you believe there are only 20 days left in the year?

But, as Stevie Wonder once said, "Superstition ain't the way!"
I've found that acceptances tend to come in groups -- so expect more!
Congratulations! That is so cool!
Go January...loving your news and so well deserved :-)
Here's to a poetastic 2007

Good for you. You totally deserve this. You rock, Poetmom!
(keep the momentum going--let this be your inspiration to keep writing, keep submitting!)
i'm so glad someone is winning around here. our patriots have been letting us down so we'll have to lean on your poetry prowess.
Doing a happy Snoopy dance for you. :-)
Thanks for the kind words. None of this would be possible if it wasn't for you coming back and reading my work. You give me the encouragement to go on and for that, I thank you.

Deb, I'm picturing your happy Snoopy dance right now!
