*inhale*
!!!!!!!!
*skips giddily around the room with exessive amounts of glee*
*skip skip skip*
*exhales slowly*
*sigh*
Okay. My little moment of joy is finished. Now my question is, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A COPY OF THE PHILIPPINE GRAPHIC??? They never informed me that I got published. Either that, or my Spamguard ejected their acceptance email into the void.
Anyway. Back to my rejoicing.

Hi Haze…I don’t even know which one it was.

I might not be able to see the printed one but this news is suffice! Congrats! so does this mean you’ll start to get paid???

Paid? Paid?! *snooty literary fart mode* One does not think of the crass topic of coin when artistic integrity…when FAME…when artistic CREATION are concerned!
(I think they send contributor’s copies.) Seriously, I think I just might be able to earn my bread doing this. And that will be good.
More importantly, this means that a few people who are not: a) well-meaning relatives or b) supportive friends, actually think my stuff is worth the ink and paper it’s printed on.
This is where it begins, Jim. I’m learning from the greatest of all artists. If He has any say in all of this, I will go far. And I humbly give Him thanks for letting me tag along with Him.
