Am feeling pleased, for a Monday. I just went for a walk on my lunch hour, to the woods and stream behind the building, and a poem came to me. I was afraid it would be gone by the time I came back into the building, but I actually finished composing it as I walked. It's not the best, but it just feels so good to have composed something in that way ( Read more... )

some old favourites (several years old), some you've seen recently. I'm also starting to gear up to publish about disability, so started with the  "Conversations with my Leg" pair. Am hoping they garner some interest on the wider scope so that, when I finally get to my article writing, those will get some attention. Raising awareness!

Holy Moly (and other, stronger language) 2 more poems have been accepted and published on the same day!!!!

I got brave and submitted these as eligible for distribution to partner sites, so they may get more exposure. Though, they're a little sad, now that I'm reading them again. I mean, I knew they were, but I am now looking at them as the public ( Read more... )

I submitted a summer poem eligible for distribution throughout Yahoo Contributor Network and its partners, rather than view only on YCN. Making it eligible for distribution not only means more exposure (and possibly more pay), but also improves the review time to 10 days or less. However, they don't specify whether it's 10 calendar days or 10 ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

OK, so I know y'all read it already, but i get paid by page views, so please go here and view my first published poem!!!

Squeeee!

in searching around craigslist for other sources of income (OMG, was I really considering getting a second job? Just goes to show you exactly how crazy stressed I am, even though I'm pretending not to be) I found  this source for tons of places to find freelance writing jobs. Including (if it's legit, haven't done all my research yet) one to write ( Read more... )

The Fabulous Friday 5 (or Satisfied Saturday 6) is about taking the time to focus on the good things. Post 5 or 6 things that made you smile during the week. It doesn't matter if it happened to you, to someone else, if you saw it in the news or when you were walking through the store. Just put aside the negative for a moment and share pleasure, big ( Read more... )
