readings and competitions, oh my

[boneverse]

Right, upcoming submissions and readings... This is mainly so I can keep track of the dates and selections myself. More than likely I may end up sending something completely new to at least some of these, but I'd like to have some options ready in case I don't manage to write anything new over the next couple of weeks.

So, tentative selections...

Christ you are going to pwn me at the mslexia thing.

Or, you know, VICE VERSA.

My friend jenni_the_odd is entering as well, any combination of us in first, second, and third would be PERFECT.

But someone who sucks will probably win. :(

Well clearly the judges should recognise all our brilliance and the only discussion should be the heated debate how a three-way tie for the first spot, while unprecedented, is entirely justified in this case.

Darn, I REALLY want a poetry + knitting event!!!

Also, you are brave and super active for doing all these poetry things. ♥ I feel like I've fallen off the poetry wagon again, sigh. So many poems I could edit and send off, but I never get my lazy arse round to doing it. So GO YOU!

Apparently it was popular the first time they ran it a couple of years ago. I'm there just to read and listen :D

Thank you. I'm trying, and probably also using this as escapism from thesis-related stress...

You can't force it though, hun. When you feel like writing or editing, then you do it. <3

[teithiwr]

Well, you'll have to tell me all about it! :)

Poetry is great escapism. <3 And it looks like you've got a lot of stuff planned out pretty well, so yay!

Yeah, I know I shouldn't really stress out about not writing/doing writerly things. It's silly, because I do know that when I get the real writing itch, there's nothing can stop me from squeezing in time to write! And yet, Tei feels anxious about not writing. SILLY, like I said.

[boneverse]

There will definitely be a post about the event :)

You could try writing a poem about writing anxiety? And stop being silly, make yourself some tea and just relax...

[boneverse]

Aww, thank you so much darling, that's really wonderful of you to say.

And thank you for the suggestion as well, it's a good one. I know I wanted to include 'On Walking Home At Night' somewhere, but wasn't sure where. You're right, it might be a good fit for the Manchester anthology... :)

MANCHESTER ANTHOLOGY

Just reminding you to enter the anthology tomorrow.

Re: MANCHESTER ANTHOLOGY

[boneverse]

Have done it. Submitted 'On Walking Home At Night' and 'ain't no love in here, girl' in the end.

Excellent. Go you. :D
