bathtub-row Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 A few months ago, I submitted one of my poems in a contest. I found out that I’m one of the finalists and my poem will be published in a magazine!! I already have three novels that I’ve self-published but this is my first official publish. I’m so excited. ? 15 Link to post Share on other sites

Author bathtub-row Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Thank you, CO!!! Not creeped out because you’ve been on this site for awhile but it would reveal my identity. Let me think about it. Maybe I can send it to you as a PM. Thanks for being interested in it!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CantGetEnuff Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 OP, congrats on the published novel AND also congrats on the three indie-published novels. I have a toe in the creative space as well, and I know how fulfilling getting your stuff "out there" can be. Frame that bad boy up somewhere! Then for the rest of your life you have an automatic conversation starter of: Guest: Ah, what pray tell is that? You: Oh, it's just one of my poems that was published in this esteemed magazine. Guest: You are so sophisticated and impressive. You: Yes, yes I am. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it’ll be a published poem — sure wish it was one of my novels but, hey, I’m still breathing. Gotta remember that: “Yes, yes I am.” ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
