My Poem is Getting Published!!


Recommended Posts

A few months ago, I submitted one of my poems in a contest. I found out that I’m one of the finalists and my poem will be published in a magazine!! I already have three novels that I’ve self-published but this is my first official publish. I’m so excited. ?

Thank you, CO!!! Not creeped out because you’ve been on this site for awhile but it would reveal my identity. Let me think about it. Maybe I can send it to you as a PM. Thanks for being interested in it!!

OP, congrats on the published novel AND also congrats on the three indie-published novels. I have a toe in the creative space as well, and I know how fulfilling getting your stuff "out there" can be.

 

Frame that bad boy up somewhere! Then for the rest of your life you have an automatic conversation starter of:

 

Guest: Ah, what pray tell is that?

 

You: Oh, it's just one of my poems that was published in this esteemed magazine.

 

Guest: You are so sophisticated and impressive.

 

You: Yes, yes I am.

Lol! That’s priceless! Well, thank you, fellow artist. Actually, it’ll be a published poem — sure wish it was one of my novels but, hey, I’m still breathing.

 

Gotta remember that: “Yes, yes I am.” ?
