Just got a notice that at least one of the six poems I submitted earlier this year will be published in a collection of poetry in England. I'll keep you posted.

Congratulations, Limey - apparently there is some justice in the world. Who knew?

That's excellent news, mate.

It's a non-paying gig, but published is published. For such a small deal, I'm pretty fired up.

Mark,
Congrats. I'm glad more of the world (there is a world out there besides AW, isn't there?) will get to enjoy your poetry like we here do.

Heh, yeah, Norman, but I'm writing under my real name there since their a little touchy, sometimes, about the use of "limey".

...eighteen, graduated, and busy! It's all good, though I haven't finished a poem in a while. I just realized that I hadn't been here in a while; what's new, besides your fantastic news??

Not much here. Waiting to hear if any of my short folklore tales get published, still awaiting word on my picture book from the agents I sent it to, and starting on my next novel. Oh, and eagerly anticipating merit's first published work...

wow...good luck with the tales and picture book--and when your novel gets published, let me know!

Only not-so-much with my "published work"...everyone's been saying that, and it's made me too skittish to finish anything!

Congrats, Mark. I also think it's fitting that it will be published across the pond.

Schweet. Just signed off on the proofs. As an additional bone, they're taking a line from one of my poems as the title of the book (still tentative). Here's me giddy.
