I got published!
:D
I just found out today that I'm published in this year's issue of the Allegheny Review. For those of you who don't know, the Allegheny Review is one of the best-known undergraduate lit journals in the US. I'm not going to allege that it's the best quality-wise, as that's pretty subjective, but it's fairly well known, and that excites the crap out of me. I love them because they don't have an age limit... you just have to be an undergrad to submit, and when I submitted this piece, I still was.
Gah I am so excited because I have been shuffling around the country feeling like a loser for months but hey my whiny prose poem about having my heart broken got put in the specialass lit magazine that I like and maybe I won't be a failure after all weeeeeeeee
Anyway, as a shameless plug, you can buy the thing (volume 25 ;D ) and guess which piece is mine. Or you can PM me and I'll tell you. ;)

I will so totally pick that up! Let me try and guess which one is yours first, though . . . before you tell me.
Cheers to you!

^ I agree with Lena. You are too fucking cute for words and you're a great writer. I really enjoy all of your posts -- the witticisms, the sentence structure, how you really elaborate. You have a million amazing accomplishments in front of you, too. I'm sure this is only the beginning for you.

Re: I got published!
Felicitations! I pronounced it the pretty French way, pour vous cherie. Couldn't of happened to any gal more deserving. I published three poems in a local journal a couple years ago, and I was proud of them. And then I could never write anything worthwhile ever again. I had my heart all beat up too, and ohh the creative juices that got mashed. But yours is true talent. Even by your posts, I am so amused and impressed. Way to go!

Re: I got published!
This is such wonderful news, and it couldn't have been bestowed upon a more deserving person. You are amazing in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe them to you.
I don't think you even know or appreciate how much you are an inspiration to so many dancers on this site. Every single smart girl here just rolls over and howls at the moon every time you post something so powerful or touching or insightful or overwhelming. The fact is, you have only just begun to tap your talents. I am so pleased that you have this validation, but honestly, in my mind, you have been so far ahead of everything commonly published in literary journals that they are lucky to have even found you. That means this is just the beginning, and you are the one in control.
