The Rush to Publish

It seems like everyone else is getting published: this girl I knew in high school, a college classmate, a friend of my sister's friend, and a friend of a friend. Everyone, that is, except for me. I offer words of congratulations, but what I really want to say is, "Why you and not me?"

I already have that answer. It's as simple as I haven't finished anything. Sure, I have several projects in the making, but scraps of cloth do not make a quilt--they have to be sewn together. Meanwhile, I'm sewing words together here and there and pricking my finger on the needle. Even when I get the time, I just can't seem to get a lot of writing done.

To those of you who have finished a project and are publishing, I mutter my congratulations. I know the hard work that goes into it.
