Today in St. Peters, MO: Party cloudy, high 76. Another lovely day!
My friends are the best! They've encouraged me when I felt like giving up, picked me up when I was down, and shared in my success. I am so pleased when I hear their good news. Here are some success stories to share about a few of my writing friends:

Always nice to hear of success for others.This list was a wide of assortment of publication places too. Good for those folks! Writers seem to be mighty compassionate for each other, understanding and supportive.
ReplyDeleteNow for those of us that do not know about the story for an Irish anthology, can you give details?
Hi Pat,
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat.
Donna
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking.
I'm happy to give details. My essay "Welcome Home" has been accepted in an anthology tentatively titled Irish Inspirations that will be published by Blue Mountain Arts. The publisher hasn't given me a release date yet.

Donna, More good news to add to your list. I just heard that an article I had written, "I Can See Clearly Now", has been accepted for publication in an ezine, You and Me Magazine. It is about my reaction when I was diagnosed with glaucoma. I had written this piece ten years ago to help myself adjust to the news. So it has been hanging out on my disk for all this time. When I came across this site, I tweeked the article here and there, sent in a query, and voila!, it was accepted.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news! Congratulations. I will add it to the list, and include it on the Saturday Writers website next time I update.
Way to go!
Donna
Thanks for the mention! I keep meaning to send it to you for Saturday Writers, but you know how that goes... Great to see everyone's success.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, Donna! And congrats to everyone here who has recently received happy publishing news.
