For the past week or so, I have lived in a soggy world. But hey, it’s better than living in a cold, white world. According to the weather reports, we are in for some dry weather in the days ahead. I really need to wade through the mud that is currently my backyard to start spring clean up.
And because we are nearing the end of the semester, I also really need to wade through the stacks of papers that are scattered on my desk.
Today is the half-way mark of the month, and I’m happy to report that I have kept up with my poem-a-day challenge. It’s too early to tell what poems will really be poems, but I know from looking back at my scribbles, that I have some strong starts. After weeks of silence on the submission front, I have also received two rejections. The first rejection was disappointing, but I have to admit that the second rejection made me laugh — it was from a journal I submitted to over two years ago. All four submitted poems were accepted elsewhere for publication (and yes, I contacted said journal to withdraw my submission). It was a snail mail submission, so when I got the SASE in the mail, I couldn’t even remember what the submission was until I opened the envelope and saw the form rejection. Huh.
Guess there are editors out there who are doing their own spring cleaning!
