I wanted to update the blog, mostly because I haven't in so long. I'm thinking about deleting it. Any objections? I thought not.
Anyhoo...I wanted to say YAY! because I finally got something published. Not a book, not a short story, not even a poem...six words. Just six words. But it's in a book that's on the shelves, and my name is finally in print. This may make me a horrible egoist, but I downloaded an e-copy of the book and looked for my name. Found it! No misspellings, no "anonymous", none of that crap. Just the words and then my name:
Writing's my escape. Pills were hers.
Catherine Maynard
It's weird seeing my name in a published work, but it's also very, very cool. I looked it up and over 250,000 people submitted their six-word memoirs. I think they only chose around 1,000. Pretty crazy, huh?
Seeing it just kind of reaffirms, in my mind, that I am determined to publish a work of my own some day. A book, a short story, I don't care what comes first. But something's going to come. It has to. Right?
It has to.
