Luck and randomness are truly a big part of a writing career. But so is perseverance and talent, and you definitely have both! Congratulations, and hope to read your novel one day.
congratulations!! I loved reading this piece and maybe THIS is the sign you’re going to get to all of those historical fictions published… one day lol. keep writing!! 💕
Thank you so much!!! <3 and oh my God I'm setting those novels ON FIRE even though they're on my computer...just...never again loll but THANK YOU for entertaining my most terrible ideas lol
You've nailed the feeling of simultaneous joy and exasperation as a writer. I recently got the most incredibly positive email about an essay (which I've worked on for more than 2 years), before submitting to more than 2 dozen publications. I had to read the email TWICE before understanding they rejected it. A few days later, a piece I worked on for only a few days got a yes. The world is wild. I feel like giving up on my memoir several days a week, but then I like to think that I'm only one submission away from a yes. Good luck with your novel!
My algorithm is late to the party and just offered me this piece - loved to read it! Congratulations and looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Really enjoyed reading this piece, especially as a writer and author hoping for a little luck sometime soon. All we need sometimes is that little bit of kismet to make something magical happen.
Thanks for writing this! I published a piece in Modern Love last year too, and it's so cool to see the opportunities you got out of it.
Thank you!! <3 And congratulations on your piece! That's so cool!! I'll have to read it :)
