Yahoo!!!!!

I'm getting published! :dance:

This is so cool! I entered my poem in a national contest to get published in an anthology and i got accepted! Since most people's applications are rejected, it makes me happy to know they like mine.

Sadly, it does not have a happy message. It's not really a bad message ,just not happy. The title is "Cruelty" and my theme i express is cruelty is the choice of holding back hope. Not exaxtly my most happy writing, but this is still amazing.

At the same time, it brings up a problem i have had all through highschool. Should i purse a degree in English? If so, what career? (these questions are rhetorical by the way, not really meant to be answered, just thoughts out loud).

Just thought i would share this happy news with you all. Also i would like to encourage anyone who wants to write to give it a try. I used to hate english and it used to be my worst class, so you never know what talents God has blessed you with until you try!

Congratulations! You've reached the point all aspiring writers hope to reach!

Praise God! That's great!

Is it by any chance the Anthology of Poetry for Young Americans (or something akin to that, anyway)?

Awesome Sparrow Hawk! I was in your shoes half a year ago. Now I'm an internationally acclaimed Poet, and I really dislike Poetry!

Yes, Anna Mae, that would be the contest. I had to submit an article for publication for my composition final and that was where i submitted my work.

Heh. I know that this response is really late in coming. :sweat:

I have been having some computer issues... Sorry...

That's cool. The reason I asked is because I have been published in those.
