Accepted!!!

Blue Mountain Arts has just sent me a contract to run 6 of my poems on a test market and I couldn't be more excited!

As expected, the test takes 24 months, but once ultimately accepted, I'm at $300 per work (the scale goes up from there to $700 per work). They don't specify where the test market is, but for those of you reading this, if you see my name (Laura M. Sands) on any Blue Mountain Art products...you know what to do!

I originally submitted 20 works, so the 14 that were rejected will be published in my own greeting card and gift line that I'm currently working on establishing.

Anyone else interested in submitting to Blue Mountain can request their guidelines HERE.

Hope you all have your own good news to share today and thanks for stopping by!

Whew, Firefox!

Okay, so after a million people recommended it, I finally downloaded Firefox and, yes, my sidebar is now where it should be. I admit I still use Explorer for everything else (old dog, new tricks...you know how it goes, lol), but when I don my BabyBlogger identity, I'm Firefoxin' my way down Blogger Lane. If anyone is having similar sidebar issues, I highly recommend switching to Firefox for your viewing pleasure.

And speaking of recommendations, please check out my links now appearing in my properly placed sidebar. I've only got a few up right now, but they're great ones and more are to follow.
