… and three come along at once. Well, five, if you count ‘Lovely Girls‘ and ‘No Arrests‘. In the last few days, Full of Crow have taken ‘Arthur’s Stone’ and expect to publish it in October; Read Short Fiction took ‘Baby Bird’ to put up in the Spring; and Zouche Magazine & Miscellany have picked up my essay, ‘A Tale of Two Sixties’ and scheduled it for some time in the next 5-6 weeks. All a little bit wonderful.

That’s definitely a “little bit wonderful”! Congratulations!

It is, isn’t it? The word ‘Squeeeeeee’ would come to mind, if I weren’t trying to cultivate a more dignified front. OK, too late – squeeeeeeeee!

Squeeee indeed! Great news, Suzanne!

Hehe! It’s halfpast Sunday here, so that’s all I’ve got! Thank you, and nighty-night

Good for you!

Thank you! I’m slightly stunned, really. But it demonstrates the truth of the advice I was given by my first CW tutor, to keep sending them in till someone cries ‘Uncle’! I won’t mention the hours of hair-pulling revision and editing time if you don’t

Damn – I just ‘liked’ my own post! Is that sycophancy, literary incest, or some indescribable form of self stimulation! Note to self: stop clicking around :/

Thanks for a great LOL in the middle of a trying work day!

Suzanne, Woo hoo! That’s such exciting news. And, I might add, well deserved

Thank you, Christi, I’m working my way through my uni assignments. Three to go, unless we leave out the poem. Yes, better leave out the poem …

Well, look at you!
Congratulations!!! I applaud your persistence. You’re a stronger woman than I.

Oh I don’t think so, Linda. I do sprints, you do marathons AND sprints. Strength and endurance

Congratulations! This is exciting news. These are lovely publications to be associated with.
September 23rd, 2011 at 09:30
Thank you, they certainly are, and I’m hopping up and down!

Congratulations!!! Rejections can be so disheartening sometimes…
Persistence is the only alternative to giving up!

I think maybe if you bang your head against a brick wall for long enough, eventually it stops hurting and maybe you’ve put a dent in the brickwork. A hard hat helps. Crit groups. Leave ego at door upon entry!
