I sold a poem...

Please notice the word 'sold'...egad. I am on the path to great riches.

I get a quid for a poem to be sent out by Every Day Poets. And I have to say - what helpful bunch. My poem went back and forth a few times with useful comments from the editorial panel (here) before it was accepted.

So I had a very generous lesson as well as everything else.

Poem is called 'A Stone for your Shoe'. Link to be posted when it goes live.

Congratulations! If EDP takes off the way EDF did you'll be famous as a poet in no time.

I said "famous". I didn't say "loaded"!!

Just don't spend it all in the one shop.

Vanessa Gebbie said...

Hmmm... you are right, S. I need a few more before I can put down that deposit!

Jim... I am planning. Maybe a packet of chewing gum in Tescos and an apple in Asda?

Yey! Good news V. Love the title and can't wait to see your name up in lights... shiny and bright and famous!

Do remember us mere mortals when you ascend to these lofty heights.

Best
