I’m going to be featured at Indie Ink! http://www.thesweetescape.net/blog/2011/writers-write/holy-spimoni-and-other-exclamatory-utterings-im-going-to-be-featured-at-indie-ink/ http://www.thesweetescape.net/blog/2011/writers-write/holy-spimoni-and-other-exclamatory-utterings-im-going-to-be-featured-at-indie-ink/#comments Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:15:58 +0000 MJones http://www.thesweetescape.net/blog/?p=1696 Continue reading →]]> Holy wow. Well. I just got some very good news, Blog People. I’ve been very shy about submitting work, but I finally got up the nerve to submit to Story Fix. I did not die or explode. This is good news.

At the same time, I must have sent the piece to Indie Ink.  IndieInk.org is an online writer and artist collective. It’s a great place to shake off the extra and just read some writing and look at some art.  I got notification this morning that my piece Try to Say No will be featured at Indie Ink. THIS IS EXCITING, OMG. It should be up first thing in the morning at Indieink.org!  I will of course post tomorrow and send everyone to the live link. YAY!

I have to admit, I’ve had a bit of the jealousies lately. I see so many people who haven’t been “working on their writing” getting writing jobs. It’s really been sticking in my craw, lately. But it’s my own fault, because I don’t submit my work or writing samples to even see if I could write for an online magazine or sell my stories.

Things like this are so, so encouraging to me. I will definitely be writing more and submitting more!

And also, I will get to put this fantastic badge on my blog!

So YAY! \o/

Dear MissM ,

Great news! Your submission has been accepted for entry on the short-story.net website. Now you can get your work seen by the world! The unique address to your work is:

http://www.short-story.net/story.php?s=1465

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email.

It was sort of a given, since it’s a short story archive that doesn’t seem to have many stipulations but it was a place to start! *claps*

I’m so excited! I’m so scared! What if people don’t like it? *scream*
