In an earlier post, I announced that I had received notice from an editor for the Chicken
Soup for the Soul books that the story I wrote about my cancer journey, titled “A
Joyful Life” had been accepted to the final round of stories for their anthology,
From Lemons to Lemonade: 101 Positive,
Practical, and Powerful Stories about Making the Best of a Bad Situation.
After writing and posting the article on my Cancer Journey
Blog, I submitted it to Chicken Soup because I thought it was a pretty good match
for the topic of their book.
I just received notification that my story WILL be published. My record with Chicken Soup is now six stories accepted to the final round and five published! Hopefully, I'll have a shot at a few more, but that means I'd better get writing!
My longtime friend and fellow writers' group member, Marilyn (Chica) Zapata , also had her story, "The Fruitful Life", published in the same book. Here we are at our July meeting, holding a copy of the book.

I will receive ten free copies of the book, which I plan to share with friends and family.

Sweeter with Lemonade!!!
