I've sent a piece to a magazine over here, but not heard back yet. I was also thinking of sending the same piece (or one of a couple others, although I think this one 'Secrets' is the best one) to Cicada, which is the magazine for the age group above Cricket but published by the same company.

I haven't done so yet partly because I want to hear from the other mag first and partly because a have a half-written companion piece which I'm planning to finish and send them together.

My college term finishes on Wednesday so hopefully I'll get some time to sort out my creative writing then.

Thanks for asking, it means a lot that you liked it. Hugs to your nieces!
