weepy. Published a new poem, Words with my Father
So, this is a Squee! thing, but I am very weepy too. I told you I had a couple more poems submitted for publication onYahoo Associated content, but I didn't specify. The first assignment I decided to accept was a Father's Day poem. I knew it was going to be both easy (because I think about Dad every day) and hard (because I miss Dad every day). I briefly considered submitting a previously written poem, but unpublished (blog posts don't count, apparently, so I'm safe if I do repeats). And then I thought, OK, if I want to really get into the groove of publishing a lot, I should be generating more new work. So I wrote something new for the assignment and didn't show it to anyone and only edited about 4 times. I was REALLY nervous about submitting something that no one had ever seen, commented on, given me feedback on... and something so personal. When I get around to submitting articles, though they will deal with sibjects that mean something to me, I will be able to be somewhat detatched from them and will go through all the usual beta-reading first. So I'd hope I have more confidence. but a poem is, well, different.
I am weepy because it got accepted, abut also because, well. You know. I hope you like it. I have to admit, I'm fairly pleased with it.
Click Click. I will probably make the poem a stand alone post later when I go home.
