I don't know anything about Emrys Journal--I mean, whether this is really a big deal or anything. But omg I'm going to be published! And now I'm off to make fried ravioli and spinach dip for the party. Damn, I need booze.

Oh, and I want to use this line: Excuse me, I have to call everyone I have ever met, right now.

That is so fantastic! Congratulations.

I can now brag to people that my beta is a famous published author.

(by the by - did you get my e-mail from the other day? Optima is so wonky lately, I have no idea whether my outgoing e-mail is in fact out-going.)

Is fried ravioli the same thing as baked ravioli? Because OMG I *love* baked ravioli. I used to eat it all the time when I was growing up.

And congrats on getting published! That's very awesome and something to be extremely proud of.

I laughed a lot at that last line. =)
I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be published. But- if I ever happen to be published, I will do exactly that. =)
