Haha, yes. Well, in the context of this journal, in which (at some point if not right up front here) I decided to aim to be published by 16, it isn't the future I was expecting. HOWEVER, I am oh so grateful nothing I wrote before a couple years ago *is* published.

Small blessings.

And thank you! It's nice to have a craft that isn't as much of a long-haul learning curve as a novel...
