Is this really happening?

I’m still experiencing a bit of shock and I can’t decide whether or not I’m really happy or really scared. I’ve been dreaming about something like this for so long that I almost don’t believe it’s true or actually happening…

Oh, did I mention? I got the job!

That’s right, I’m officially the new editor of the fabulous mag of my dreams. I still haven’t told my boss, she’s out of the office until Monday. That’s sure to be an awesome way to start the week. I’m so nervous about this transition, especially since it’s right in the middle of the holidays. I’m scared to death that I’ll do an awful job and they’ll regret hiring me. I won’t get into details, but this is not at all like an EA position, it comes with a ton of responsibility and some pretty big shoes to fill.

I can’t believe I’ve been writing this blog for less than two months and I already found my dream job! I wish that I had some super advice to offer you guys about the amazing things I did to get it, but I know we’re all in the same boat and doing the same exact things. All I can say is that I applied to at least ten jobs a week, kept my head up and wrote like crazy. As much as I don’t want to believe it, this business really is a lot about luck and who you know.

So I guess this will be my last post, which is really sad. I’m happy to have gotten the job but I’ll miss keeping in touch with you guys! I really hope my story was inspirational, and keep in mind that if I can do it, anyone can. Best of luck to you loves, I hope all your publishing dreams (and beyond) come true!
