Haiku by Dog / Haiku by Cat now on Dogster / Catster
TweetWordless Wednesday
When I began blogging five years ago, my fans told me they loved my work: “You should get this stuff published!”
What they meant was published for real. Like in a magazine or book.
It became a goal of mine. A dream. To reach a wide audience for my words. To share my photography. To get paid for my creativity.
Yesterday, I took a huge step in that direction. My Haiku by Dog and Haiku by Cat were highlighted on the home page of Catster.com and Dogster.com. My Haiku stories will be a regular feature–going up on those sites every two weeks.
I am now an official contributing writer, with my own author page on each site. I am a published author in an online magazine. For real.
Next goal: book author.
And here’s where I say thank you to everyone who encouraged me, believed in my work, and helped me along the way. Too many of you to list: family, friends and fans. Purrs and headbonks, waggy tails and shlorby doggy kisses to all of you.
Today, we’re participating in the Wordless Wednesday blog hop. (I know, I used a few extra words today.) Take a look at some of the great (and most likely less wordy) blogs who are also participating.

Ku, they are asking for people to post their own haiku in the comments. Maybe you would want to add your pawsome poetry there.

I was so thrilled when I saw the dogster featured story, I was clapping my hands.. Then 10 minutes later I saw catster lol. I thought maybe I was hallucinating. I’m so happy for you, it’s such a great opportunity. I absolutely love your writing and am thrilled to see how many others are just as inspired by it. Congrats!
Wow! Thank you! I’ll be posting haiku to Catster and Dogster every two weeks. Plus other fun stories as well.

Congratulations, Susan. You know I have told you many times how I admire both your writing and photography. I am so happy it is going to be available for so many others to enjoy. You have a real knack for both! Hugs, Janet
