Eeeee! I’m getting ANTHOLOGIZED!
I started writing a LONG time ago, but I started publishing about five years, during my first few months at Southern New Hampshire University. One of the first poems I ever published, a sonnet called “Ode to Apollo” is now included in this groovy anthology.
It is so flattering that people wanted to include my little poem, and it is so amazing to realize how far I’ve come. I wrote that poem for writing club my sophomore year of high school. It was the best I’d ever been paid for my writing, too, when I sold it.
If anyone wants “to be a writer” (especially if you have a hard time finishing/polishing novels) GO WRITE AND PUBLISH POETRY/SHORT STORIES. It is so much easier than getting a book deal and its basically the writing equivalent of an internship. Go learn the ropes. You’ll love it.
