I have just learned that my very first freelance piece has been accepted and is going to run some time next month…
in the NEW YORK TIMES!
Details to follow.
I think I need to go lie down.

that is such fanstastic news! what is the article about?
Congrats.
You are now in the ranks of Jayson Blair.
Always knew it would come. Congratulations – now even more people will learn the wonder that is Fish.
WOW. That is fantastic!
Awesome. So that’s where you’ve been. I’m afraid I’m gonna need some details. And connections.
On behalf of the Jewish people, Mazal Tov.
Wow, congrats. Tell us when, because I may have to make a special effort to go out and find me a New York Times (I’m in suburban CA)
Congrats, Fish! You should be so proud
Woohoo! Congrats Fish. Acceptance letters are always *so* much better to get than rejections.
Fantastic! Congratulations!
You rock! Congrats!
Wonderful news!! Congratulations!!! (You’re a Big Fish now – couldn’t resist!!)
Enjoy your success!!
Yowza! Don’t forget we knew you when…
fan-freakin-tastic. congrats on your hard work.
Congrats! Wow, that is soooo great! I read the online version of NYT…I’ll be sure to look for you…after you give out more details, which will help. Congrats again!
I think the NYT should be the one gushing! Blogging’s going to take over the conventional media outlets, don’t ya know? ;o)
NYT?! Wow. Congratulations.
You’re one more person to add to my “Famous People I Don’t Know, Sorta” list!
Seriously though, that is really great news!
Congrats on the freelance piece!
Congrats. I look forward to the details.
Holy cow fish that is AWESOME. Happy day.
Brilliant!
You totally deserve it. I come to your blog every day (even if I don’t comment heh) and you’re one of my faves. Congrats big time!
Yay FISH!
Okay, fine. You can take me out for drinks instead.
It’s just the beginning… just the beginning. All good things to come. Congratulations!
make sure to tell when it comes out…cant wait!
Are you allowed to repost it here for all of us out of the loop….?
congrats!
Congrats, Fish! You deserve it, girl! =)
do i get to be just a tad bit smug because i kinda knew about this already? (and not let my smugness detract in any way shape or form from the utter awesomeness of this achievement?!)
YAAAAAAAYYYYY!! I so look forward to reading it! (at least, I will hope it’s on the website, because that’s the only NYtimes I get..)
Congratulations! You deserve it.
Congrats!
All I can think of is to say what everyone else has, “Congratulations!”
Nothing like starting out at the top!
Congratulations!
Very nice! :>) You worked hard for this.
Have I mentioned the Michael Fund before? It’s very special and does many good works. Please consider a small gift (cash will do fine) to aid the middle-aged needy. No names, please.
wow! holy shit! i think it’s time to retire from your day job.
that’s so cool.
I am very pround of you! I always new one day you would be famous and I could say I knew her when…
P.S. The Warden sends his Congratulations as well
Great news. I’m so happy for you! Please let us know the publication date.
One word, FEMA.
and what’s with not letting people post anonymously?
CONGRATS!
CONGRATS!!!!
Does this mean you get to wear a fedora with a “Press” card stuck in the band?
Way to go!
Now our fish will come wrapped in a newspaper! Ha!
How wonderful! Well done, Fish, and yet another round of congratulations.
bitch.
Congrats Fish! I’ve been addicted to your writing for the past few months now. It’s the best!
Yay! Well done and congratulations! Yay!
Wow. That’s incredible news. I’m sooooooooo happy for you. You totally deserve it.
Excellent.
Fish, if your article is published in a Newspaper then its obviously going to be in the public domain. Therefore, I beg you on behalf of the Brit fans to publish it online here soon…I live in Nottingham and its certainly not going to reach my shores any time soon….please show us when its published!!!
You’re in the show now, Fish. Shine.
If you can take a victory nap, I will take what I think should become widespread, a nap of congratulations.
Congrats! (And congrats to the NYTimes for landing such a great writer!)
Congrats!
Nice work Fish!
