I was published this month in Somerset Studio.
I submitted a piece to the Alice in Wonderland call 100 years ago and hadn't heard back. I assumed that it was because I was rejected. So when I opened up my issue and thumbed through and actually found ME! I screamed with joy. Of course, this frightened the poor children sitting in the car with me half-to-death. (I look at magazines during red lights much to the annoyance of people sitting behind me in traffic. It is a terrible habit. I'm getting help for it.)
Here's my piece. Do you recognize it? (It is the heart with wings. On the very top!)
I hadn't come down from my Somerset Studio high before I got this magazine in the mail a few days later.
Hmmm. I thought to myself...I didn't order this...I wonder why I got it? Then it occurred to me that perhaps I had something published in it! And I did!
I'm still kinda in shock over the whole thing. And so happy. So very happy.
