my triumphs, my failures

Club: One cool and possibly bad thing is that you can live vicariously through my submitting. After the wanker we discussed just days ago, my inbox flowered a delicious springly surprise (goodness, if that last bit were a poem I'd reject it "flowered a delicious springly surpise" what is that?):

Dear Beverly Writer,
I am delighted to accept your poem POSTAGE DUE UNIT, CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA for
publication in the spring/summer issue of *journal name here*. Please sign the
attached release form and return it to us along with the work on IBM/MSW-formatted disk and a brief bio.

Thank you for sending us your interesting work.
Best,
A.A.

I love that she called my work interesting which is much more supportive than, say, Imaginative Work--but light on craft. Now I just have to locate another copy of the poem, which doesn't seem to be anywhere.

Because of this success, I will from now on never pay postage on anything I send you. You could probably write off that postage due as a tax deduction.
