A Little Self Promotion for the Lady

First off- Harvey, you are a nerd. I haven't yet decided if I want this to read an an insult or a compliment, so interpret as you will.


Second-I'm really into self promotion via our blog, so, keeping in the fine spirit of that (drum roll) I just had a portion of my book published in a literary magazine!!! These are the first pages from this manuscript to actually be published, so it's very, very exciting for me, and I wanted to share the news with some of my favorite people (aka, you guys)

You can read it online, although, when they post the print online, the formatting gets kind of weird, so, just don't pay attention to that please. Actually, I really dislike reading work from print online for this reason, but for the purpose of sharing on the blog, it makes life really easy.

The magazine, Miranda Magazine (Winter 2007), has published roughly 15 or so pp from a section of the book currently titled "Radiant-Red Violet".

If you have a chance, I'd love for you guys to check it out. I've been pouring my heart and soul into it, and so far, am at roughly 100 publishable, revised and edited (about a million times, but now complete) pages.

A little backstory- for my graduate program, our creative thesis is to write a, well, book (appropriatley), in the hopes that it will be published by the end of the program. I've been working with a really great editor on it, and am really excited, b/c these are the first pp of it to hit print. The book is currently formatted in a very non-linear fashion, jumping around between present and past, between memories and personal insights. I've been getting a lot of 'thumbs up' from my editor on it, as well as faculty members/peers in my program, so, well, I'm just really excited other editors are slowly taking interest in it as well.


Well, now that I've said all that, please resume whatever it is that you were doing.
hug/kiss-
a very satisfied/happy ang
