Guess what I did today?

I signed a contract to have my work published. That's what I did.

And now I lay here writing to you as the pretend candle in the handmade candle holder that my eldest gave me for Mother's Day flickers and glows. I feel kind of like that candle right now. Not quite certain, do I dim or do I glow? Will I shine, or will the light eventually die out...

There's only one way to find out.

So, until fate decides which way I go, I'll sit here and squee in my head and hope with all hope that I won't only be chasing my dream, but catching it by the tail and soaring with it.
