HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
It's going to be a leap year.
I'm facinated by those born on 29th February and what it must be like.
I'd like to thank my lovely husband for all his invaluable support over the past year.

To round off 2011, I had 2 pieces of wonderful news.
I'm delighted, though having to wait that long will be a challenge.
It's an illustrated quarterly magazine that publishes scifaiku, haibun, senryu and tanka plus articles about these and other poetic art forms.
Do check it out.
These ones didn't make the grade, so I can share them with you:
When dogged by Pluto All the planets join forces Celestial Clique Madeleine Maddocks | They live among us The stereotypes abound Alien Features? Madeleine Maddocks |
Second, I won an unexpected blog prize at Maria Zannini's DIY Christmas blog with Carina Press: Rulebreaker, plus some smoked salmon!
I hope your New Year starts off with a happy buzz too.
Will you be celebrating or treating it like any other day?
24 Marvellous Musings:
Well done on those achievements; here's to many more in 2012. I'm hoping to make it down to Paignton to see the fireworks this year.
Congratulations! I knew you'd be a good bet for Scifaikuest!
I love the scifaiku, particularly the one about Pluto.
Happy New Year!
Congratulations! Getting your poems published is great news. I'm with MJ Field the haiku about Pluto really made me smile.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year
Congrats on all your achievements 2011, and may 2012 be as good if not better! ;)
Commiserations to your hubby: nothing worse than sore throat. Nevertheless, darn good excuse for knocking back shorts of whisky. Helps no end! :o

Well done Madeleine - if the ones that didn't make it are anything to go by, your others were highly deserving of publication!

Way to go, Madeleine! Scifaikuest is a paying market that delivers, and the contributor's copy is very nice. Send them some more posthaste. =] Happy new year!
Bless you all, thank you.
Milo, LOL! I already have...
Thanks for the heads up. ;O)

I'm planning to treat it like any other day; though I will be starting rewrites/revisions of one of my novels.

Happy New Year to you. We ended up doing nothing on New Year's Eve, but at least we both stayed up to see it in :-)
Congratulations on your news and hope hubby is feeling better.
Congrats on your Haikus! And that book looks awesome. I might have to add that to my TBR! :)
Congratulations on all the good news. My New Year's was celebrated nicely at home with family and then got up early the next morning for a 15 hour drive. I'm still tired.
