And that someone is NOT just me. π Seriously, I have been fortunate enough to have had one of my poems selected as a “Best of the Web” love poem (you can find it here fifth from the bottom or here directly), and now I’m going to express extreme self-aggrandizement for a bit.
HOORAY! HOORAY! I’m not even a serious poetry writer, and yet people seem to like my poems – WOOHOO!
Okay, enough of that. Sorry for the blatant self-promotion, but I guess that’s what a blog is all about, eh? Plus, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (as have many a writer before me and most likely many will after as well): writing can be a lonely and somewhat disheartening business from time-to-time.
HOORAY FOR ME! HOORAY FOR…
Sorry – couldn’t help myself there. I’m done this time for real, promise. But hey, cut me some slack – so far poems are the only things I’ve gotten independent accolades for, since I’m willing to “publish” them on the blog because I don’t intend to publish them in any book form at this point. π
YEAH! Woot! *throws confetti*
*engages in a somewhat awkward happy dance, but it’s heartfelt*
That’s great news, Jill! I happen to know what an awesome writer you are. And now a recognized poet?
Why, I do declare. In all seriousness: You rock. π
Aww – thanks Tracy! I don’t know about rocking, but it was still a nice thing… And I *REALLY* wish I could have seen the happy dance. Maybe at the next LCRW meeting? π
