Question for all

There seems to be quite a lot of talent in this community. Have any of you
ever been published? Book, poem, short story etc?

Funny that you asked.

I just received a rejection slip for the three poems that I submitted to
this year's OASIS publication. I don't feel too badly, because a friend
who is truely an exceptional poet also had her work rejected. We
decided that we were in good company.

I have an Honorable mention in my old Junior college creative writing
booklet, from MA-NY years ago. Then I self published and copyrighted
my "Memories Revisited" book for my daughters and grandchildren,
brother, self and Library of Congress.

I belong to the Calif Writers Club, along with my husband who's poetry
has been published in several local venues.

Otherwise I'm juat little ol me, she said humbly.

I wrote a set of roleplaying game rules that made our little company
enough of a profit to cover the conventions we attended while selling
it. It is between editions but people still play it.

I have written articles on gaming, bridge, poker and baseball for
magazines. I had some poetry in magazines years ago and poetry.often
includes one of my poems in their annual printed book, although I
don't think I submitted anything this year.

My greatest work was my collaboration with the late great Feather
called _Poker for Cats_ It attracted some interest from a publisher
but it was never finished. When Feather went to the bridge, I lost my
heart for it.

Well, as for myself, I submitted some stuff to poerty.com. Was supposed to
be a contest but, for the last three years, they have been trying to get me
to buy a book in which the works will be published. Ahh, what kind of
contest is that?

Well, they publish the winners whether you buy the book or not. And
there are some small cash prizes, although most of the "winners" don't
get one. I never bought the book and I was able to keep my mom from
buying one, although it was a struggle. It was fun because I felt like
writing the poems in the first place and their website is as good a
place to keep them as any.

Well, I like to read what others have written even if it isn't something I
usually read. So, is there a place on the net I can find something of what
you have done? I found some of the Poker for cats and even though I watch
Texas Holdem on TV, I don't really get the game it was interesting to see
how he put it all together; Gramby

At least the $10 entrance fee for the Oasis contest includes a
copy of the edition, and I have seen some enough to know that
they have a lot of good writing of all kinds.

Ok so I found the Oasis contest page. I have a problem navigateing some on
these sites. Oh hell, fact is, am nearly blind so, could you tell me what I
have to punch, press, sing a song to or whatever to find what you submitted,
would really like to read it. Gramby
