Publication

Well, I hadn’t heard anything from my contact at the New Mexico Breeze lately, so I shot him an email yesterday asking about the status of “The Apricot Tree.”  He got back to me today and told me that it had been published and that he’d been running into some difficulties as a brand new paper and hadn’t been able to get enough copies to send me an original.

He’s mailing me a photocopy of the piece.  I’m excited to see it.

Don’t think I’ll be paid for this one, but that’s all right.  I’m getting my name out, and that’s what matters.

I made this contact through the Southwest Writers contest folks, and I missed the opportunity to write for the latest contest.  So I need to get on the ball and get something written for the next one.
