Ellen M. DuBois, New England, engaged, and has a dog who loves to critique her work!

Credits include: "Dare to Dream" & "To My Sister on Her Wedding Day" both winners - Blue Mountain Arts poetry contests; several poems in market review - SPS Studios, Inc, two e-books under contract; Published in Volume 2 of "God Allows U-Turns" with my piece "The Angel in the Dumpster"; appearing in "Slaying the Dragon: Stories of Triumph Over Panic and Anxiety Disorders."

Don't Let Go of the Dream

I find the more I write, the more inspired I get. Thoughts, feelings, ideas, poetry and story lines seem to flow the more I do it. Often times, writing helps me to gain perspective on myself. I read my work and come to know a part of myself better than I did before.

When I submitted a piece to the new inspirational book series entitled, ""God Allows U-Turns." ," published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. under the Promise Press imprint, I hoped to be published, but knew the chances were slim. Thousands of submissions were coming in from all over the world. However, I didn't let go of the dream. I said to myself that I had the same chance as everyone else and I visualized it happening.

I knew I had something positive to contribute to the world; a message of hope. When you believe in your work, it helps to keep the dream alive.

I was both delighted and stunned when I was contacted by author and founder Allison Gappe Bottke by mail and was told that my story was under consideration. I waited in great anticipation to see if I would be one of the one hundred stories selected for Volume 2.

I am both happy and proud to say I will appear in Volume 2 of "God Allows U-Turns" which will be out in October/November of this year.

I still cling to the dream, continually submitting pieces to them that I think are relevant to upcoming volumes in the series.

Just because I was blessed enough to have it happen once doesn't mean it can't happen again. It can happen to all of us.

What Do Women Want? / What Do Men Want?

Anthologies Online asks the impossible question. We are planning a series of anthologies. The first to be announced is the What do Women Want? What Do Men Want? series.

Your editor is looking for smart, funny, angry, touching, spiritual, or academic essays from 500 to 3,500 words based on what each gender wants from a mate. We want different voices of different ages and cultures to explore this topic. Please write from only one point of view (What Women Want or What Men Want) per essay.

View a sample essay at Commentary: Relationships
What (do) Women Want in From Men./?
Use your own original voice. Send your best work with "Relationship Anthology" in the subject line to Submit to What Women Want / What Men Want
