Vanessa's poetry to be published in Calabash
Poet VANESSA SIMMONS sent me the following e-mail on April 27, 2008. (Since I'm still tweaking things, I'll put it up:)
"Hello everyone! Yes, again! I am to be published in Calabash: A Journal of Carri bean Arts and Letters!! [ http://www.nyu.edu/calabash/ ] I'm not sure of the exact publication date - this was a surprise as I think I sent this off to them over 2 years ago, but I think it will be a summer publication. Will keep you posted :)"
Congratulations Vanessa!

IT'S ENERGIZING TO SEE SUCCESS...
Dear Writers ~
I’ve set this blog up for you, the members of the London Writers’ Society, so you can come here and alert our community when you’ve had a publishing success because I am always excited to hear about someone else being published (or paid!) for their literary output.
So I’m thinking - maybe you’re like me - and it would give you an energy boost to read about the successes of people in our group. Then, when it’s your turn, you can have fun sharing your own news.
So I’ve started this for that purpose - encouragement. I’ll be e-mailing the user name and password to all of you - our LWS members - so you can come here and share.
I will begin - although it’s very old news now - with the fact that my play The Ten Commandos was selected by the Grand Theatre to be included as part of its January 2008 Playwright’s Cabaret - and I received payment! Seeing my play staged was a thrill and this acceptance took me back from the brink of thinking maybe I should hang up writing. (As if I could.) But now I think: hang in there. This is a long-haul journey, not a sprint. ~Clyo

An Alternative To Wordpress
Since I'm not sure I like the blog over at Wordpress, I've established this one. I thought each contributor to the Wordpress blog could upload a thumbnail photo. I'm not sure that's possible. We'll see how this looks... ~ Clyo
