Melon said many students told her about good things happening after they took her course. She didn't know why, but somehow Conquering Your Fear of Water seemed to open a floodgate of positive events.
That certainly wasn't on my mind when I landed back in NYC, after my flight was delayed for seven hours and I wasted an entire day stuffing myself with Orlando airport sandwiches and salads. It was past midnight when I finally entered the apartment, and there it was, a large envelope from Hong Kong, addressed to me - in my pen name. My heart skipped a beat. I slowly opened it, and there it was – the latest issue of a favorite Chinese literary magazine.
With my submission in it.
COOL.
So cool, it's freezing.
This came on the heels of an English essay coming out in a small literary magazine in NYC. So in the same month I suddenly became an international, bi-lingual published literary writer. It was a minnowish step, but small fish starts with tiny steps.
Melon, I am taking another class with you.
