ETC 558...continued - again

Well, as i mentioned a bit ago, I submitted my "Scholarly Paper" to two hard found sites. As of that point, neither had responded. It was a bit of a disappointment at first - not knowing what to expect from such a process.

I'm happy to say that both sites accepted my paper for publication!

The first to pubish was Articlesbase.com: http://www.articlesbase.com/k-12-education-articles/technology-in-and-for-the-instrumental-music-classroom-578863.html

(I received this confirmation just two days following my submission.)

The second was EzineArticles.com: http://ezinearticles.com/?id=1530154

(This second confirmation took about a week - as the publishers had stated would probably be the case.)

Having never published online in this manner before I found it difficult to find the site to which I submitted my article. I do, however, recommend doing posting online - if for no other reason than to know you are published online!

On a more personal note, my son, Ben, was home this week. We just took him to Phoenix today so he could head back to the big apple. (He is the standby for the lead in the upcoming opening of "Shrek, the Musical.") I can't get enough of this kid! (Ok, he's 26.) Of course, it's always tough to say goodby as we only get to see him once or twice a year. But, he's living his dream...acting on Broadway. (Most recently, he was in "Les Miserables" in the Broadhurst theater playing a number of roles, most notably, as the understudy for the role of "Javert," he "went on" at least 30 times! What a great experience...

Hopefully, we'll be able to visit him in N.Y. sometime in the next few months. As our only remaining son (we lost Tim two years ago) it's made our already close family even closer.

Enough for now...I find myself rambling.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your second journal blog submission. Congratulations again on publishing your paper.
Wow, this is very exciting news about your son. I hope you will have a chance to see him perform. He sounds very talented.
You are doing fine in the course Tom.
Let me know if you or your group have questions as we move through the course.
Have a good day.
