Doing the Happy Dance!

The Yellow Ribbon

by M. E. Murray

June 7, 2018.  In addition to the good news about Twister, as I finished working on one of my short stories and getting ready for supper,  I saw an email  whose heading indicated that one of my stories had been accepted by a publisher. I didn’t read it because I had to eat .  In the kitchen, I told my husband about the email. Well, my husband is a very impatient person. He didn’t wait. He ran to my computer and read it. “It is true,” he reported. “Your story, THE YELLOW RIBBON, has been accepted by a magazine.”

I couldn’t believe it. I was very happy, but I have that Latin culture that reacts to good news by crying. So, I cried! That was my way to show that I was extremely happy. An editor appreciated my story and my writing! I was finally going to be a published writer.
