I'm thirteen and just opened the letter from the NEW YORKER! notifying me that i will be published!?

Wow! Congratulations! Just imagine what you will be writing later on in life if you are already doing so well! Thats encouraging. Im 28, and though your age gets me a little jealous, Ill just give it as reason to get my word processor cranking tonight!!! Congrats again. And just dont forget to keep writing, even if the rest doesnt get noticed as readily as this one did. Dont let that discourage you. You've got the talent!
