* Anthology Acceptance & Other Writing Info *

First of all, I am thrilled to announce that an essay I submitted for the anthology, Cuivre River Anthology, Volume V, has been accepted! More on that at a later date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The newest Tiny Lights Sparks newsletter came out today.  Susan Bono is Editor-in-Chief ....extraordinaire! Please check it out, especially the section: Lights Online and then Searchlights & Signal Flares. That's where I submit monthly "answers" to Susan's very curious "questions". I've mentioned quite a few times, too, that anyone can submit their answers and they will be published online. There are no requirements, other than keep it "nice". There is no entry fee, judging, or money award involved, but "Hey...You get to see your work published!" I can't figure out why more of my writer friends haven't sent in some of their scathingly brilliant work!! Also, this month's "Featured Writer" is none other than fellow Missourian and great friend, Theresa Sanders (or Teri as most of us know her!) Why not go to the site and sign up for the monthly newsletter? Tell Susan, "Becky sent me!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to my newest follower!... Betty Henderson, whose blog is Windy Ribbons. Betty's brand new book is just out: From Trash to Treasure; Evolution of an Ozarks Junkyard. Just the title made me curious! I've included the link to High Hill Press, Betty's publisher, where you can read Chapter One, for free! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In an attempt to find A GOOD WAY to keep track of the submissions I've sent, PLUS keep track of places I WANT to send my writing to, I typed up a "Writing Schedule", which is similar to the one in Bylines Desk Calendar. Sylvia Forbes, publisher & editor, included a really cute Top Ten Reasons to Buy Bylines Calendar on the website. (Sylvia also came to speak at one of our Saturday Writers meetings and she was excellent.) I hope the writers chosen to be part of the 2011 calendar will be announced sometime soon, because I submitted something and haven't heard yet. Even if I don't make it into the calendar, I'm surely going to purchase one because it is so much more than a calendar. Find out more on the site.
Last of all:  Happy Writing.....and Follow Your Bliss!

  1. Congratulations, Becky, on being published in the anthology. I will keep my fingers crossed about the Bylines calendar. (I thought too late about that one...Perhaps the next one in 2012?)

    You posted this at 1:00 in the morning? You must be a night owl, or you burn the candle at both ends!

  5. wow....I am so far behind. the only thing I ever submitted was the recent contest that I didn't win :(

    Becky, for some reason I didn't see me as a follower and I'm 100% certain I was a follower? so, I am now following, even though I've been following you for months now.

    thanks for all the great info here. you are THE most productive writer I know!

  15. Hey, Becky. Congratulations on the anthology. I love short stories and articles. In fact that's how I started out! Keep up the good work. BTW, still haven't solved that problem. And the 'help' site is no good at all. Everyone who has written in has given up also! Guess they're just ignoring it for now. Maybe Blogger doesn't know how to get rid of it either!
