Yet again another envelop to be sent
Do you ever have that feeling where you are so ecstatic and overwhelmed by accomplishment that nothing can take it away? That's how I'm feeling right now. Most people don't understand the importance of this envelop but for me it's like having 1,000 Christmas's hit you all in a matter of five seconds; or realizing your parents are giving you extra money to buy all the new things you have been fantasizing over for the longest time. For me these envelops hold more significance then any kind of gift wrapped sweater or cardigan anyone has ever given me. These envelops are notifications from certain publishers notifying me my poetry will be in the top ten of their new book. How amazing it is to come home from an irritating day at school, walk through all the snow while soaking your feet in its ice trap, opening the mailbox to find that one thing that's so important you will remember it forever. Right now I'm waiting on my fourteenth poem to come back. The wait is like seeing all of your Christmas presents and waiting for days to open them. So far I haven't had a negative response from a publisher and lets hope I wont for number fourteen.
