submit my writing for publication

Technically, I’ve been published quite a few times:

• My poetry is all over the Mesa School District.

• Three of my stories are up for the general public to read on FaithWriters. As far as I’m concerned, that’s published. I will continue to submit there, because it is really fun and it keeps me in good practice for writing about Topics-On-Demand.

• Many, many educational presentations have depended upon my research for success, although other people (bosses) took complete credit as the authors. So what, my work is still published!

I am writing a book, and will come back to this goal when it’s complete and I actually submit it for publication, but for now, I’m done with this goal.

...just to participate in the Weekly Challenges. I’ve always loved writing to a specific topic, so this was right up my alley.

I added a separate goal to my list because they don’t send reminder emails like Illustration Friday does. I need 43Things to remind me to go check what the weekly topic is.

So far, I’m having fun!

...it served the purpose I was going for, which was to see if other people would like my writing.

I wrote a poem for postcrossing and posted it on 43 things (see my first postcrossing entry). Well, I got a nice “WOW” from someone on here who liked it AND the person in FINLAND who received it loved it! This is very encouraging! =)
