That will be 3 in total - not a big deal in comparison to many of you out there but you have to start somewhere!
To be honest Jill had had the story for rather a long time and I'd given up hope, but I thought I'd send a query email just to be on the safe side. I expected a "no" to bounce back, so this news was doubly exciting. I suppose the message in this is to not give up hope, and that maybe after a long time, a polite query email, may actually do some good.
I've had a dance round the living room with my boys, I think they think I'm quite mad. The first question was "How much are you getting paid for it?" the second question, which remained unspoken, I'm sure was "What are you going to buy me with it?"
Christmas presents perhaps?
Now I'm off to have a celebratory cup of tea, and maybe even one of my son's chocolate chip cup cakes.
I know how to live don't I?
That's great news - well done!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWell done, WannabeaWriter. I came across you because I want to submit to The Weekly News myself and I was just checking the editor's name. Biggest congratulations.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Three stories published is brilliant and a great reason to dance around the living room. As for the unspoken question 'what will you buy for me', I suggest a copy of the magazine each, story signed by author. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay. Well done. Happy dances all round. Caroline x
ReplyDeleteWell done. :0)
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your lovely comments. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get hold of a copy of the publication - apparently there was a problem with distribution up north, so I may have to order a copy direct! Never mind. Charlie, good luck with your submission, be prepared for a bit of a wait though, as Jill always seems snowed under.
