The Highs and Lows of Writing Life
This morning, I received my first official (non-Medium) byline in a respected literary journal.
To say I’m excited would be putting it mildly. I’m THRILLED. Over the moon crazy stupid excited.
When I woke this morning, I immediately grabbed my cell phone and went to BREVITY’s website to see if my post was up. And there it was! There’s me! In full color! And the words I wrote are RIGHT THERE for everyone to see!
OMG.
So, I did what any self-respecting writer would do: I shared the crap out of that post. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, my website…I plastered the link to any and all social media sites. (Well, the ones that I understand. I mean, I’m over 40. There’s only so much I can do these days.)
Almost immediately, the love poured in. I got dozens of positive comments on the BREVITY site. People subscribed to my newsletter. There were hearts on Twitter and likes on Facebook and virtual hugs all around.
