Eek!

I...well, I...er...Okay, I'm just going to say it.

I submitted my first story to the local weekly Catholic newspaper this morning. It is about the 50th anniversary of a small parish school in a small community where the public school is about to close down.

So far, I've heard nothing except that they've received it. There's a pit growing in my stomach, fearing that it wasn't good enough, and they'll never accept a story from me, ever. And the pit isn't about personal failure or wanting to be creative or anything. We need the money. It's only $30 per story, but we really need it.

I was too chicken to call Fr. B and see if he was going to accept it. I guess I'll have to call tomorrow. Phooey.
