The first of many to come... Congratulations, JElizabeth!

Congrats! That earlier piece you referred to, was that, The Zebra Mussels Murders, using your pen name,  Savannah  Barnacle? - mÃ¥x

Note- was rough on chapter 4 review, but had my head up my ass that day. Will pop over soon for 5 and review with better perspective.

I blitzkrieg submission through durothrope.com. I am running 10% pub success for submissions, so 280 submissions in 2010-2011  12≠14 publications. Thinking SEO for longer works through my domain - tradewindsweb.com but #(*#^&  garrr... frustrated by   mac  - dreamweaver/coldfusion installs at present... garr... aloha

Congratulations, JElizabeth. Many more publications to come I'm sure.

Memphis, I will see if I can find it! It was about a horse who used to live at the same stable where I kept my pony. Her name was Moja; her owner was involved with an abusive man who bashed the horse's face in with a PVC pipe to get back at her for trying to leave him. I think my mom ordered a copy of the book it ended up in... I'll have to ask her.

I just received word of more success last night! I'm so happy I could die. The editor of another journal emailed me about my story, "The Encounter," which was workshopped to death on here (thank you everyone... Memphis... who must have read it 20 times) to ask me to re-write the ending. He said that he really liked it otherwise and enjoyed my "edgy" style. I never really thought of my style as edgy before, but whatever he says! I remember many commented that the ending was flat and too black-and-white, but I obstinately kept it because I was sick of working on it. I should have listened to you all.

Hi R A! Thank you. "Seven" is published under my real name, Jennifer Nissley. My penname on here is JElizabeth (obvs.) I'm very excited to be joining the Hall of Writing Rhinos!

AHHH I'm so ecstatic. After a handful of rejections, my flash fiction piece, "Seven," which was workshopped on this site, was accepted for the sixth edition of The Chaffey Review. This is the first time I've been published that counts. (I had a stupid little poem published when I was in high school - I don't even write poetry - and in 5th grade I wrote an essay about zebra mussels that was included in a book about the region where I grew up... lmao.) Thank you everyone who commented on this piece. I am very grateful, and so so happy!

Congratulations, Elizabeth!  That is awesome news.  I see you doing your victory dance.
