Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

Three quick things:

1. The past week brought another rejection of my first full-length poetry manuscript. BUT, my to-do list includes completing submissions to three venues with upcoming deadlines before year’s end. AND, among the nice feedback I’ve had to my latest piece (more about that below), I’ve received a couple of additional suggestions/leads to check out. And I will do so! (more…)

Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

Three quick things:

1. Sent the full-length poetry manuscript to two contests over the weekend. Please wish me luck!

2. Been working on the November issue of The Practicing Writer newsletter. So please be sure to sign up if you aren’t already a subscriber. (And remember that you can still make use of much that’s included in the current [October] issue.)

3. If you aren’t already following John Sibley Williams on Twitter or Facebook, please consider doing so. You’ll discover a lot of wonderful poetry (his own, and others‘) and you’ll find out about developments as the first of his two 2019 collections approaches publication. (Over the past few days, for instance, there’s been both another amazing endorsement and pre-order news. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll be saying it again—it’s not easy to keep up with him! But it’s certainly a privilege to be contributing to his publicity efforts.)

That’s what’s new here. How about with your writing practice?
