My essay got published. Did the happy dance! [View all]

My alma mater has a new little literary journal put out by the college of veterinary medicine. I submitted a short essay (700 words) and they accepted it for their first edition this fall. They sent 3 copies of the thing, and of the 4 essays in it, mine is the first (feeling smug, lol). Has some poetry and photography and images of some fine arts works. They didn't pay a dime, of course. But I am so excited, lol.

I am bummed that I can't link to it yet (editor says it eventually will be online to link to). But even when it is, I probably won't here because then I would lose my anonymity. Damn.

(sniff)
