Rejoice, I will Say it as Many Times as I Want to, Rejoice!

A very happy evening for me!

Mom told me when I got in the van after work that I'd had a phone call.  I never get calls.  Being a good girl, I won't lie, I was irritated - I wanted to talk to David.  I'd been missing his calls all day and fate's dirty finger was playing with the last straw in my box.

It was an editor, though! (Good thing I remembered to say "this is she.") My short story "The Legs Come Off Easily" has been selected for publication! And by A Capella Zoo, a magazine I respect!

This is the first magical realist story I've gotten published.  It feels so good to be in my genre... Sigh.

So celebrate this great end to a trying day with me!

(I did call David, directly afterwards.  He says I get kisses tomorrow, ^v^)
