It's hard for me to get overly excited about being published. First, it's not my novel, just a short story that took almost no effort, and secondly, it's in a new magazine that will see limited distribution.
That being said, I am excited that I can remove the "Pre" from my blog, and actually call myself a "Published Author"...It will be nice to have SOMETHING in a portfolio, to show that someone other than my mother feels that I am worthy of print. I seriously doubt that any agent will accept a note from my mommy telling him/her that I can write!
I have signed the contract, provided the magazine publisher with my information, and now I have to come up with a title to the story. Since I wrote it with multiple short stories in mind, I was thinking along the lines of this:
*Gede, Guardian of the Veil - Georgia's Story
*Gede, Keeper of the Veil - Georgia's Story
*Guardian of the Veil, Gerard's Quest (I think I like this one the best so far)
Now I must get back to the novel, as I have sorely neglected my revisions.

"If you can't be good, be good at it." —My grandmother's parting words of wisdom. A few days later, she was gone. I've carried those words with me ever since. Life's too short not to ask questions, tell stories, chase rabbit holes, laugh at yourself, and occasionally get into a little harmless trouble. Welcome to my corner of the internet. Pull up a chair, stay awhile, and don't be surprised if the conversation wanders from haunted hotels to Highland castles and ghost stories.
