You guys are so freaking Dear Abby! Except you hopefully don't have the same hairstyle for like forty-five years.
I typed up an article on relationships. I proofread, spell-checked, cut and pasted.
I wrote the following for my bio:
Chickie McChickperson is a fake writer from East Tennessee. Once? When she was twelve or thirteen she had a really crappy poem published in one of those anthologies you see in the back of Teen Magazine.
Until this writing thing pays off, she's a Environmental Specialist at a Category 2 Nuclear facility.
No. Really.
Also? She's a wife, mother of boy/girl twins, and alpha-female to a really awesome mutt.
Okay, seriously, that's what I wrote, except I put my real name.
They'll either love me or hate me, but either way it's done. I've hit submit. I've shot my wad. It's all up to them now.
Whether they publish me or not, I feel good. I feel like I've made a step.
Thanks for the encouragement! You guys are so money and you don't even know it.

They'll love you, I'm sure of it. Everyone here does - why wouldn't they?

I am SOOOOO proud of you!!!!
I had this awesome boss once, who always told us (as a team of proposal writers) that just finishing the proposal was a win in his book. Whether the client selected us or not. I live by that. Do the best you can. Put it out there. If the client doesn't buy it, their loss. Congratulations on putting it out there.
Yes, Chick! Good good GOOD for you! Absolutely hope this comes through for you on the writing. If not, try again. You have the gift...and an audience to prove it. :)
Alrighty!! How they won't love you is beyond me so the wad you shot was absolutely worth it. And the hairstyle? They say it's coming back in style you know.
Yeah Chick! Good for you!
