No I haven't been published, nor have I received a massive cheque for any amazing stories I may have written. I know it's a long time coming but that isn't my news.
WE HAVE INTERNET!!!
Only 3 months late but I'm not one to complain...much. Normal blogging/commenting/surfing/procrastinating shall resume. I am slightly afraid that my writing will suffer as a result of me now having the gift of website surfage but I shall try and be good. I can now start my course...well after I get back from holiday at the end of March.
I now have another womag story 'out there'. One at My Weekly and the other with the Weekly News which I sent yesterday. I did receive an immediate response from the Editor but only to tell me I'd hear back in around a month. Not sure if that's a good thing but I won't dwell, I shall just work on more stories for my short story group Womag 2 Weekly and get them out into the big wide world.
I wouldn't survive without me broad band
ReplyDeleteSo relieved you have an internet connection now. Mind you I think a few days without one might be nice, but only if you chose not to have it.
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo, internet. I'm with Niamh, it would be like cutting off my arm. I don't know how you've managed, apart from that you've had to. But I'm also with Debs, it's great to have a few days off but then you come back to loads of checking... x
ReplyDeleteI'm like Niamh and L-plate. I'm lost without my internet so I think you deserve a medal!
ReplyDeleteI lost my internet for one night and I thought my world had ended. Luckly Boyf came to the rescue! lol
Glad to have you back! :o)
That's standard practice for The Weekly News so it's not a bad sign. Good luck with both of the submissions. I never realised how much I used the internet until I couldn't get a reliable connection.
ReplyDeleteAh nothing like feeling connected to 'out there' again!
ReplyDeleteI'm lost without the Internet! Good luck with your subs - The Weekly News usually reply within a month :o)
ReplyDeleteNiamh – I can’t remember what we did without it. Luckily I had the dongle and work internet so I got by. Not moving again for a long time!
ReplyDeleteDebs – Me too! You’re right there. I sometimes like to switch off from the interworld but its nice to know you can go back when you want.
L-plate – lol I was lucky having the dongle and it didn’t cost me anything to have it. It was just soooooo slow and I have no patience!
Emily – oooh thanks. Maybe I should make myself one lol This is where I am glad work in an office where I have to have internet. I wasn’t completely cut off which was lucky. I still want the medal though just for having to deal with SKY!!
Colette – Oh thanks, I feel better now and it was so nice to get an immediate reply from Billy anyway. It was a nice touch.
Kerry – I know, thanks heavens for mobile internet though…and dongles. I also appreciate the speed of proper internet now as well.
Karen – Thank you!! I’m glad it wasn’t an immediate rejection at least. I just need to get more out there. the womag group has meant I have a few stories now that can be edited and sent.
