The Pony is kicking up his heels with joy.
Last night, he learned that his story, Areo-Atlantis, was accepted for inclusion in the upcoming anthology Building Red: The Colonization of Mars. The expected publication date is Spring 2015.
The Pony would like to thank Val's blog buddy Donna for listing the opportunity, and also blog buddy Sioux for reminding Val of this prospect tailor-made for his writing style.
It takes a blogosphere to nourish a budding 16-year-old writer.
Congratulations to The Pony. May this just be the beginning of his writing career
ReplyDeleteSixteen years old and already a published author?
ReplyDeleteI am jealous...
It seems the Dictorians raise some remarkable kids.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. Your boy will be galloping ahead of you in publication credits. Watch out!
ReplyDeleteHooray for The Pony! Hooray for blog friends.
ReplyDeleteHUGE congratulations to The Pony!!
ReplyDeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteHe wants to do it as a career. I think he's trying to show me I was wrong when I said he needs to get a real job with benefits until he finds out he can make a living off his writing.

Sioux,
That makes two of us.

joeh,
I think that qualifies as irony, what with Hick and Val being such loser low-class hillbillies, neither of us really quite sure what "irony" is, anyway.

He's becoming headstrong, and kicking up his heels, but I will not rein him in on seeking publication.

Irony is what you need to do when your shirts get wrinkly.
ReplyDeletejoeh,
