Wow. This is the coolest thing.

Now I know how Sally Fields felt when she won her Oscar: "You like me, you really like me!!"

I just got "hired" (is it still "hired" when there's no money involved? I don't care. I'll still take it!) for a part of a technical editor position at an online 'zine/website called the AntiCraft.

It's an awesome site. Part Fiber Arts, part humor, part campy horror, and a good helping of goth wonderfulness; I love it. It's right up my alley.

I had to work quite hard to get the position, too, despite it being a non-paid position. But I'm ok with that. First of all, because the hoops I had to jump through were legitimate, and lent the website a major dose of credibility (if it hadn't already had it from other publications such as Craft, ReadyMade, and Whip Up, just to name a few, that have cited the AntiCraft -- I may be wrong about ReadyMade, but there are others that have this site cited that I can't remember right now), Secondly, but no less imperatively, this is my passion, I went to college for this!!! Finally, if it pays off somehow, it will pay off in karma or reputation points. I'm going to work towards that! You better believe it... THAT'S worth it!

Of course, that's all said without ever saying that anything worth working for is generally well worth the work. :-) Now, having said it, let me also say that I'm well satisfied.

I'm also very excited. It's a whole new chapter. Watch this space for more art.
