A New Writer Milestone

I've experienced some personal writing milestones along this journey.

I had my first story published.

I had my first story published by someone who didn't know me.

I reached 100 rejections! Which meant I was sending my stories out.

I won a spot in a playwright festival.

I sold my first story at a professional rate! 

I was interviewed about a story for my first podcast.

This year I will have my first reprinted story.

And I just received word that my story, "When Apple Woke," from Upon a Twice Time by Air & Nothingness Press, is ELIGIBLE to be nominated for a Hugo Award. This is my first time being eligible. (Which is not even close to nominated for anything, but it is still really cool.)

This is definitely the right momentum.
