Honestly, half of me is dying to just scream and dance like a madwoman, and the other half of me is too stunned to believe it. :D The magazine is set to come out in January, and I'm hoping and praying nothing changes before then!!!

So I just had to share my good news. I can't explain how much this means to me!!!
Heck with waking up everybody! Go ahead. It's so great that you got accepted! I'll have to try and find this. I have some Aussie friends who might be able to find it for me. Congratulations. I'm sure it will be the first of many articles that will be accepted. :)

So very happy for you! I had some of my poetry published several years ago and believe me there is nothing like an acceptance letter in the mail! Well, almost nothing! LOL
