Oh my….
Happy, happy, happy me. This evening I got some great news. I’ve received a Pushcart Prize nomination for “Go.”
I think the final decision as to which pieces make it into the anthology happens sometime in the spring. Cross your fingers for me, please!
Yay!! I am so crossing all appendages.

I am not at all surprised. And I am so very, very proud of you.
(will this have any impact on your novel? As in, does publishing work the same way as the job market, in that once you’re in there, it’s easier to get other things published?)

I’m so damn happy for you. And proud. Fingers crossed, and all my toes.
