Feast or Famine

Now I'm in a writing feast:
Personal essay in The Ultimate Cat Lover book.
Finalist in the Deadly Ink short story contest which means the story will be in their yearly anthology.
Article and picture in Haunted Times magazine later this year and the go-ahead to do more articles.

But I wrote for a year to get the above credits - that was the famine period.

Writers can't sit on their credits and expect publishers, magazine editors, agents to come to them. Two minutes after getting the email that I would be in Haunted Times, I answered the editor with ideas for more articles. And I got the go-ahead reply.

You can write "the end" to a story, an article, a novel. But a writer is never at the end.

I will keep on writing and submitting because I want to keep on feasting.
