I've been on this site for over two years. I've read and read and read and I finally got the cajones to mail something off. I sent three kiddie poems to a huge magazine, so I expect to get a rejection, but I don't care! I actually sent it. Even a rejection will make me feel like I did something.
It feels like buying a lottery ticket. Ya know when you're waiting for the drawing, you pretend you've won, and you think of how you'll change the world with all that money? While I'm waiting for a response I can pretend they'll publish it. If they do, I'll frame it and put it on my bookshelf. I'm just too excited over this. Clearly, it doesn't take much.
