I'll believe it when it actually happens.

Sorry, but they made the exact same announcement for Indian writers almost a year ago only to backtrack on it in just a few weeks citing bureaucratic hurdles and payment issues amongst a host of other issues they faced while trying to add India to the MPP.

I'm definitely optimistic about it happening this time, but the floodgates of excitement in my head will only open once I am able to apply to the MPP and actually get accepted into the program.

Until then, I'll just be keeping my fingers crossed hoping for the best.
