I have to brag..........I got an email last week from
the editor at Bird Watcher's Digest and she wants to use (and pay $ for) a little piece I wrote last fall. I am waiting for a contract. WOWEE!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Congratulations!
Can you post the piece on DU? (once it is published)

2. I have been thinking about this, and there is the matter of
anonymity for personal safety that I have to worry about what with my strong opinions here on DU and concerns about stalking harrassment by certain RW nuts. I wrote the piece under my real name.........

Wondering what to do.......I would love to post it.

3. Well....
that is a conundrum. Perhaps it is best if you do not post the piece here. At least it will be published, you have the knowledge of your success and those of us on DU will have to trust that our wide ranging reading interests will guide us to pieces written by fellow progressives.

Congratulations again.

5. I guess I will just have to be happy showing it to family and
close personal friends. That's good enough.

6. Update: my article appeared in the Sep/Oct issue of
Bird Watcher's Digest. I got paid $100!

You have to understand this is a BIG THRILL for me!
