Oh, that one IS big! I remember well how thrilled I was when I got my first poem published. Congrats!
And prayers for your mother.
Blessings,

That's awesome, Anna! Sounds like the acceptance came at a good time. Hope everything goes well with your mom. 
Thanks, Westie, tiddlywinks, and Lisa. My mom has received the traditional Surgery Eve gifts of a book of Johnny Cash poetry and a stuffed dragon. All the omens look good.
Why would you think getting a poem published is no big deal around here? Poetry is writing, too. Getting anything published is a big deal. And, your first one? How wonderful!
Congratulations, Anna! Way to go. Keep writing, keep submitting. I wish you the most success.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom's health and surgery. I hope things improve for her and she doesn't require any more surgeries due to diabetes.

Thanks, Siri--the surgery felt a bit OT so I wasn't sure if I should follow up. My mom's awake (the part I worried most about), down 1.5 toes (doctors are weird), and will be allowed to go home later today. Thanks again, everybody, for your kind words.

Thank you again, Siri, Calla Lily, Cathleen, William, and ES. Back to the mostly-rejection grind.
This week, I sold short works, sent out new work, and ventured into beta-reading. My beta reader hasn't even ripped my heart out, but the night is young.
I'm still working on a longer story. Not wanting to pester a publisher, I asked AW about a contract term in the publisher's submission call. The publisher stopped by to answer! This site is truly an amazing resource.

Oh, no, this isn't your heart. What, you don't snack on raw beef hearts in your spare time?
