Yay for fun news! After a pretty relaxing Christmas eating way too much food with my adopted Italian family and missing home, I got a really awesome surprise in the mail today. A short story I was asked to submit to a magazine based in Taiwan (with Scandinavian roots) was published and they sent me a copy of the magazine in print {also drawing a very cute “Merry Xmas” on the packaging nice!}. Honestly it was like Christmas morning for this girl, especially since it was in English and… Chinese! A real accomplishment especially since it really is such a beautiful magazine. Think high-resolution gorgeous photos and stories from artists and people living in those cities telling their stories. I am still pouring over the other submissions.
