[Md-sligo] I got a poem accepted

[Reyazuddin, Yasmin]

Shawn,
It is great to know that a person who works as a statistician can write fiction and poetry.
Keep up the good work. When you are done with crunching the numbers you play with words.

Thank you for all who commented on my message.  Thank you for the good words and encouragement.

The poem will be published in Bewildering Stories the week of December 4th.  The title will be "Star Watch".  The editors felt like "Stars" was too generic a title and wanted in jazzed up some.  We went back and forth on titles yesterday and came up with this one.

Once again thanks for the support.

Shawn

Subject: I got a poem accepted

Just wanted to let you all know that I got a poem accepted by Bewildering Stories.  Again, this did not pay out any money, but it is an online magazine that accepts work from the wider world, not just the disabilities community.  So I'm doing my happy dance.

Shawn
