I just got done checking my submission records, and much to my horror, I realized that I have one packet of poems out to one journal. This is incredible. (and not in a good way) Between navigating the start of school craziness and starting promotion on my new chapbook, I haven’t done much else. I’ve always been a great admirer of those who juggle 4 or 5 projects at once — that is something I have to learn to do. So, writing goal of the week? To get at least three new packets of poems out the door. Let’s see if I can do it.
In other news, I am also behind in my reading. Three books arrived in my mailbox this past week: Town for the Trees by Justin Evans, Slow to Burn by Collin Kelley, and Gloss by Ida Stewart. Plus, I still have books left over from the summer. I have a lot of catching up to do!

Thank you for buying my book. I am flattered, and I hope you like it. I know you will enjoy Collin’s book.

No problem, Justin. Now I just have to find time to read it!
