I'm Pinching Myself

This morning I had a few minutes before leaving for work and sat down to check email. I opened up a message and literally sat there staring at it for several minutes before it sunk in. A literary press is publishing my poetry collection!!!!!!!!!!! It will be in the form of a chapbook. It is a place that I have repeatedly submitted to because I just had a gut feeling that it was the right place for my work. I'm SO glad they agreed! I've spent years putting together collections and years wondering if I was wasting my time. The validation is sweet. I will let you all know when it is published and in my waiting hands. Thank you Lord!
