The final product!

The latest issue of the Whetstone just came out today! I've got pictures of it and of my article/interview inside. It is something to see your name in print for the first time. I know, this isn't my first published piece, but it was "printed" in an ezine. It wasn't printed on actual paper. This is the first time I've been able to hold my article in my hand. Tis very exciting! And here are the pictures!

Now, on another note, the creative writing club at school just had it's first meeting yesterday and that went off very well. There's a lot of exciting things in store for it, including a possible literary festival! I'm looking forward to our next meeting.

I'm also looking forward to a "phone call" with a fellow writer tomorrow afternoon. She's in Scotland so we had to prearrange our meeting time (as she is 5 hours ahead of me). We've chatted once and talked through Skype another time purely for fun and getting to know one another. However, this conversation has a different purpose. Last meeting I proposed to her the idea of us playing the Letter game. This meeting is to plan out the setting that we want and think up our characters. After that, game time! Some of you may be wondering what the letter game is, so I shall give a brief explaination. The Letter game is where 2 or more participants take on the personality of a character and write letters to each other detailing what's happening to their character. Of course, each person/character responds to the other(s). There are only two rules. 1) The characters may never meet, and 2)you can't let the other(s) know what the plot is. The second rule is where things get interesting. We shall see what happens between us as the game progresses. Hopefully I can report back tomorrow with more details on how it's going and what we've decided.

Until next time!
