Some of you here might know that I'm a poet and for about a month I've been submitting to various magazines -- some met with rejections, some still with no answer yet. But yesterday afternoon I got my first acceptance letter for one of my poems! It's a magazine that's going to be published online and I don't get compensated monetarily but I now will officially have one publication in my experience.

Also, I just turned 17, so to be able to start this young is really an exciting thing.

:hooray:

Oh believe me, I'm trying to survive the remainder of junior year, haha. But this'll look good on a college application, right? ;)

Thanks everyone! :partyguy:

Congratulations!!!

This year my writing group and I came up with a short story challenge. We'll write 2 short stories a month, critique and revise, then submit to magazines/journals. I hope I find success like you :)
