The Wordsmith Chronicles – A Day at the Stone Arch Bridge

Greetings!

The last few days have been challenging dealing with the loss of a friend poet Jay Mehta. At least I’ve been able to help support his family. That has felt good.

Life goes on, and today I was reminded of that when this acceptance letter arrived in my inbox. I never do things like this, but I thought I’d share it with you:

Dear Jim,

Congratulations, your story “A Day at the Stone Arch Bridge” has been accepted for inclusion in The Wordsmith Chronicles. Your story was a true pleasure to read and nailed exactly what we were looking for both in the quality of the writing and in presenting a fully developed main character who is a writer.

I wrote Steve back and thanked him. Here’s his reply:

Hi Jim,

I loved your story from the get-go as did Kerri when she read it. It is another example of your ability to pour heart and soul into a story. You are a very unique writer and it is an honor to know you.

Warmest Regards,

Steve

I’m incredibly touched and honored. What a wonderful way to begin the week!

Thanks to everyone for reading my stories and supporting my writing. You all are fantastic!!
