Exciting news in my writing life!! A prose poem I wrote during my sophomore year of college was picked up for publication last week (coming out in May). I wrote the story 7 years ago and it'll be published by Sharp Piece of Awesome Literary Journal! Super, super cool. I wrote this piece as an experiment. I wanted to write something short and in first person plural/second person. It was hard. I brought it out this summer and started reworking it. I sent it to an editor and they actually wrote me back about it (most of the time when you get a rejection, it's a generic letter they send to everyone). The editor said they loved the piece but that the last line was awful--too preachy. I agreed. It's hard to write second person and not sound preachy. I rewrote the last line and sent it out again. This time they want it!

Even cooler, my Young Adult piece, "Where You're Going and How You Get There," published by For Books' Sake is ready for purchase today! Check it out: http://forbookssake.net/store/products/resisters-stories-of-rebel-girls-revolution-empowerment-and-escape/
