In between classes, working on my Harleyroads website, catching up with Battlestar Galactica, and life in general, I managed to get a piece of flash fiction I wrote for class accepted for publication at Pedestal Magazine. Granted, my teacher for my creative writing classes is the editor, but he said, and I quote:

even if I didn’t already know you I would definitely accept this story for Pedestal on the strength of its construction

I even get paid for the submission. Being a piece of flash fiction, it’s a very short piece, but I think more importantly than being paid is that someone thinks enough of a story I’ve written that it’s worth publishing so other people can see it.

That in itself is worth it in my opinion.
