Hello all:
Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but I've finally had a short story published and I figured I might as well shout it from the rooftops.
This is the journal: Adirondack Review.
And this is a direct link to the story:
Just imagine how obnoxious I would be if it was a print journal. ;)
-Phyllis/PJ
No way PJ can be obnoxious, except to those who really deserve the treatment.
After reading PJ's story, here's what I wrote back:
Hello back, PJ,
Your story is good! Gritty and real, or you coulda fooled me. Written out of the experience of your misspent youth, no doubt. I started, had one interruption, came back and read it through with anticipation. Congratulations! The in-print stories will come. I look forward to saying, "I knew her when...." I told you so, didn't I?
I watched "The Daily Show", and Samantha Bee did a sketch with a real guy, who is a game blogger and has a 13.5 in. penis. Samantha is trying to convince him that he's "born for porn".
Sorry for the interruption. Hang in there and keep writing.
xxoo
Mimi
Thank you Mimi! I'm really embarrassed because I never read anyone's blogs anymore, so this is doubly -- triple-y? -- appreciated!
ReplyDeletePJ, don't be embarrassed. I am sooo proud of you.
ReplyDeleteWay to go PJ --- woohoo fame and fortune (we hope)
ReplyDeleteMimi! did you really write that Daily Show paragraph? I can't believe my eyes!! I am going right now to watch it.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I did. What? It's just a body part, and I used the proper term, not an ugly slang word. And don't forget: I'm only quoting. Even though I'm quoting myself, it's a whole different matter than if it was original writing on my blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe sketch was hilarious.
This is the best news of the day! PJ has such talent.
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Show... *sort*
PJ - well done you!
ReplyDeleteMimi, I was a little startled myself by your description, but in a good way.
wv - "immodif" - "young ladies must learn not to be immodif and to talk about naughty body parts"
PJ --you grabbed my belt and pulled me close with that! Looking forward to your next!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Cathy, old ladies must learn not to be immodif (me without my teeth?), too, but I was feeling wild and reckless after reading PJ's story.
ReplyDeleteNote: I have my own teeth.
Mimi, I never doubted that, cos you sometimes threaten to bite people you don't like!
ReplyDeleteCathy, Saintly Ramblings still has a few Wenchoster calendars left, if you'd like to have one. He's in the UK, so the postage would be cheaper than a mailing to the US.
ReplyDeletePJ, we're all proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grandmere Mimi, I would like one, and will contact Saintly Ramblings right away.
