sometimes? welcome back

[lacombe]

WHOOP WHOOP! How are you doing, chica? Sorry I had to dive off the phone the other day!

[scotophobic]

Yes, but I don't remember you much, lol.

[lacombe]

I was the sad dude with all the drama in his life that ran brigits-flame. You posted on a creative writing/recipe once and taught me what tl;dr meant. ;-)

[lacombe]

We were wicked close. You made me the godparent of all your children, and tried to hook me up with your sister, who was a complete maniac. One day, she showed up in my house at night, in the rain, asked for a cup of coffee grounds, and drove from Connecticut back to Miami without ever talking about the incident again. I always wondered about that...

[writingmoments]

Sometimes I do. Glad to see you back:)

[lacombe]

:-) Thank you, chica! Miss you!

[lacombe]

Yeah, hey, that still stings. Even with aloe.

[jewelsverne]

I'm here-ish. :) I pop in a few times a week but I don't post as often. I keep trying to change that. Good to see you!

[lacombe]

Hey! You! I'd remember those Ellen icons anywhere! Nice to see you! How have you been doing?

[jewelsverne]

Hee, I love my Ellen icons. :D I've been doing very well, thanks! Busy with school. Just finished my second degree and I'm headed to teachers college in the fall. Most notably, I am a soon-to-be-published author. I signed a contract with a small press back in April. Believe it or not, the story that's being published is one I originally wrote for BF, but it's undergone quite a few changes since then. Without BF, I think I'd still be writing fanfiction. It gave me the kick I needed to push myself outside of my comfort zone and now the sky's the limit! :)

[lacombe]

Congrats on your advance to teacher's college! That's awesome stuff-- I think you'd be a pretty much badass teacher. :-)

Yeah, BF has been like that -- I've heard a dozen or so stories over the years of people who had their writing published after writing it for the community. I really should get off my tuckus and make a stab at publishing something too. It's been a goal of mine to try since Junior High School. Just out of curiosity, how did you break into the publishing thing? Like, what's square one?
