Wow, I'm forgetful.

readingredheadI can't believe that I didn't post this earlier, but I'm just now remembering.
Okay, remember how I posted something right before I left about how Julie E. Czerneda was interested in my short stories? Well, I e-mailed her from London the Friday before we left there, detailing a few stories that I was writing/had written, and I basically told her that I tend towards sci-fi and fantasy stories that explore new ideas or develop characters.
Well, she wrote back.
Not only did she write back, she asked me if I wanted to be on her invitation list. As in, the list of people who she invites to write short stories for her anthologies.
So of course I said yes.
She responded and told me, "Feel free to nudge me about the invitation if you don't hear anything by about fall."
(That's an exact quote.)
So I pretty much went crazy. I mean, me -- a published writer? Well, obviously it's my dream, but it's always been something that stays in the far-distant future. Suddenly, but not unwelcomely (if that's a word), it's been moved into the forseeable present.
Heh. So now I'm wondering how I'll take all the AP/IB classes and also write a killer short story...
But I guess that's a good problem to have.
