In my mailbox yesterday was a thick, oversized envelope with half a dozen copies of the latest (June 2006) issue of Ladybug Magazine ... a magazine for young children.
There, in the center spread of the magazine, with staples going right through it, is a "poem" of mine.
(I say "poem" with the quotes because I originally wrote it trying to sell it as an easy reader book.)
I sold the poem to the magazine about three years ago. It's hard to believe it's taken this long to see print, though it was illustrated (not by me) and I'm sure there were lots of factors involved.
With a circulation of approximately 130,000, this magazine publication likely represents my biggest sale in terms of readership.
It is always "cool" to see one's name in print, and one's words on a page (perhaps that's why blogs are so popular?).

Kootch here. It seems to me, Kootch, that your comment about seeing one's name (for example, Kootch) in print is probably true. I, Kootch, would think it would be cool to see my name, Kootch, in print, even on blogs, my own, Kootch's blog, or someone else's. It's perhaps a bit narcissitic (like maybe Kootch loves Kootch a little too much) that we, even Kootch, like to see our names, say, Kootch, in print. But there you have it.
Congratulations, by the way.
Wow, I'm reading this late (must have missed it somehow), so very belated congratulations are in order.
