If I thought getting those 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads was exciting, I’ve now been wowed all over again. I submitted several articles to a few homesteading magazines, hoping maybe one might be a fit. As it turns out, two of them not only accepted them, they’re paying me for them—and have invited me to submit more stories.
Color me amazed, surprised, grateful, and more than a little pleased. Breaking into the magazine market is no small feat. Editors have limited space, high standards, and no shortage of people hoping to see their name in print. So when someone says, “Yes, we want your work,” it means something. When they say, “Send us more,” that means even more.
As a writer, every yes is encouragement to keep going, to keep trying, and to keep believing there may be room at the table after all. It’s easy to assume opportunities belong to other people, somewhere else, doing bigger things. Sometimes they’re waiting right where you are.
What’s next, you ask? Well, I’ll let you know when I find out. For now, I’m just standing here grinning like a hen that found the feed room open.
