Wasn’t it only yesterday when I posted a comment to Bernita’s blog entry on the awaited, coveted call–of acceptance? Bernita talks about the occassions and ways in which she’s reacted to this phenomenon and asked other writers how they would react. I told her I really can’t say since I am yet to hear the call. Well, lady luck must have been evesdropping when we were talking. Just this morning my inbox greeted me with, what else? The call!
This is a wonderful achievement, Bhas! And the title makes for a tempting read as well. Congratulations indeed!
I responded to the thread you started about this at Writers4Writers.So, congratulations again. π
A charming coincidence, Bhaswati!Congratulations!Are you sure your heart didn’t beat just a little faster as this acceptance of what I’m sure is a celebration of love, strength and sacrifice?
