Warning: Contains Bragging
I’m grateful for so many things. From the mundane to the weird and from the plain to the sublime everything has its place and its reason for being. It should be celebrated.
Today, I’m grateful for a publication credit.
I’ve been doing some freelance work lately. Most of it has been directed to the local newspaper, The Mountaineer. Although the paper has a website, my features haven’t been posted on it.
Seeing my name in print again and being read re-activated an old, dormant bug. I like to be read. This blog is awfully darned gratifying, but I want a publication credit along with readers.
After looking around the internet I’ve settled on a few places to try. I sent something to FATE Magazine recently. It will likely be months before any yea or nay comes my way.
I also found UFO Digest which deals in a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. Very cool.
I submitted something last week and it’s up and waiting to be read.
If you are interested, here’s the link to The Phantom Hitchhiker:

Read it or not as you see fit.
I’m just grateful it’s there.

Yay for you! How gratifying it must be to have your name in print. It's a wonderful tale too. I wonder what he was trying to retrieve.
Hilary, thanks for reading me. I'm not sure what it was that he went after, but it seems to me it was about the size and shape of a tennis ball.
Comment No. 2 was mine. Even though I check 'em I didn't see I had a word missing until it was posted.
Good for you for getting your great writing out there!
Blogs are a great outlet for writers, but I agree, there's something about paper and ink that feels much more "real".
"...great writing..." Aw, shucks, Crabby. Thanks.
read it and as a writer by day I SO get what youre saying.
