Guess who's a published writer now?

This guy! My short story Mind the Gap, after receiving around six rejections, was finally published in, appropriately enough, The Rejected Quarterly. Aside from the thrill of seeing my story in a printed literary magazine (internet publishing just isn't the same thrill) I got a check for $20 too! Maybe I can make a career out of this writing thing, after all. It just shows if you want to get anywhere as a writer you have to keep trying. Now if only I can get someone to publish my novel . . .
