Me: "Guess what? GUESS WHAT?! I'm going to be published! I got into that anthology!"
Steve: "That's great, well done. Hey, did you ring the tiler?"
Abbey: "Mummy, I need to do wee on the toilet."
Life goes on here as usual, with my husband who really is excited for me (on the inside) and my toddler who is just going about her day.
Meanwhile, I'm jumping up and down with joy. A short story of mine has been selected as part of the 100 Stories for Queensland charity anthology. This marks my first piece of fiction to be published and, with a release date of March 8th (yes, in four weeks time!), I don't have to wait long to see my name and my writing in that book. And to read all the other stories that were chosen - with a requirement or each to be happy and uplifting, it'll be a pleasure to read them.
I'll keep you posted as to where you can buy a copy (with all proceeds going to Queensland's flood victims) - and, of course, I'll remind you with my incessant excitement when it's released.

Great news, Megan! This is the first of many publications...an exciting time for you.(PS Husbands and children will always react that way...go for the pets. Pets are always excited by publishing news!)
Congrats again Megan! What fantastic news - I will be looking out for it.
Congratulations! That is excellent news.
Wonderful news...your fam will surely be a bit more excited when they can HOLD the book themselves. Men & toddlers can be so concrete! ;)
How brilliant that this'll be your first publication - many congratulations!
That is awesome news! I am so happy for you! :)
I'd be bouncing off the walls and psyched to the max if I were you! lol. :)
Enjoy it.
Congratulations, what wonderful news. Your husband seems to have the same way with words as mine ... I am sure he is very proud.
Megan this is so fantastic. You are going to be a published author! (And you know how I feel about them ;))
Fantastic news Megan. Hope they will be released in WA as well.
Fantastic, and what a wonderful cause. My announcement of my first piece being chosen for the 'Tiny Acorns' anthology late last year was met with similar fizzle around here as well. Too funny! But it is an awesome achievement, very exciting. Congratulations!
I can't even imagine how wonderful you must be feeling. I was excited to be a published co-author of a secondary school text book (and let's face it that is not really very exciting is it?). Well done. I can't wait to read it.....and can I say what a beautiful way to enter the published world- inspiring fellow Australians in need!
Fantastic news! Well done, and well deserved. xxx
Oh, I want an autographed copy too. I LOVE that you're going to be published. Remember me when you're famous 'kay? xxxxxxx
WOW that is soooo awesome!! Well done, Megan. x
Yay - that's so exciting! Well done!
YAY!! **Jumping up and down for you**!! :D Congrats!
