I’d like to say I’m an optimist, but sometimes I count my chickens before they’ve hatched. If I haven’t heard from an organisation long after the deadline has lapsed, I assume the worst and move on. In those cases I assumed the egg has been scrambled.
On Monday I received a letter in the post, from an organisation I had completely forgotten about. The letter, which on sight I had pegged as containing the inevitable “you were part of a very strong field, but we’re sorry, you’re not accepted”, turned out to have “Accept” next to the name of my work. (Which made me more inclined to absolve the saggy syntax in the letter.)
I’m pleased and proud to reveal that my work, Cigarette Case Set, is to be published next year in the Lark Crafts book 500 Silver Jewelry Designs.
It seems some eggs take a little longer to incubate than others. I’m cool with that!
