Today’s mail delivered a heaping dose of joy, affirmation, excitement, and hope… in the form of nothing more than a piece of printed paper folded and tucked into a thin white window envelope.
Joy… because this is the very first time I’ve ever been paid for my writing.
Affirmation… because something I wrote was, in someone else’s eyes, worthy of payment for publication.
Excitement… because I FINALLY get to deposit something into my cobweb-gathering business bank account!
Hope… because maybe, some day, something else I write will have the same fate.
My day has officially been made. What an amazing way to start the weekend!
Thank you, BlogHer… for this and so, so much more.
