#18. Attempt to get something published

I'm really not sure what came over me today. But as I was reading over one of the blogs I keep up with "Window's to My Soul" I saw another site and some information I decided to check out. I clicked into Comfort Cafe and started looking around. Its a new website mostly designed to help out women who are hurting with both emotional and or physical challenges. I noticed right away that it was new and still had a great need for help in both the single/single parenting, and divorce/dealing with adultery area. The stuff I've been writing for some time now has dealt with both healing from a divorce, moving on and moving forward and dealing with the hurt of having had an adulterous husband. Then right at the top of the website it listed how to submit articles for consideration. I've been sitting and pondering weather or not to consider this ...an attempt to be published, but after a lot of thinking about it I have decided it definately counts...to me. :) Thats all that matters right :P. It took a huge bout of courage to send in a letter and send in one of the files I had written. I did already get a response back. It wasn't exactly what they were looking for but, she asked me to consider retyping it and resubmit it. I can't tell you what a boost that has been to me. I feel like I'm glowing....from the inside out. I know its silly. But I feel like a little kid at Christmas today. I've spent a good couple of hours rewriting today, Ill spend a couple more tomorrow since the kids are gone and then resubmit. But for now....I can cross this off ..........woot!
