Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer
Good News!
Last week brought some unexpected good news: an acceptance for one of my poems!
The “unexpected” piece of this has a couple of factors. First, the accepted poem is fairly new. (In other words, it hadn’t already been rejected elsewhere at least a dozen times!) So to the extent that work is ever “snapped up,” this comes pretty close to that situation.
Moreover, I’ve tried this journal—The Hollins Critic—before; this is my first success there, and I didn’t necessarily anticipate it.
I’m not sure exactly when the poem will be published, but I’m told that publication will be within the next year. I will definitely keep you posted! (more…)
