I have reached the end of "Sculpture". And now the long tedious task of revision. I may or may not set it aside for a few days and work on some flash fiction.

I am so used to internet research on poetry publishers. I don't know where to begin on fiction publishers for this piece when it is ready to be sent out.

I actually wrote quite a bit on my new story today. Around 100 words...and yes to me that is a lot...and I need to start writing more. I read journal entries from authors who tend to write 1000 words a day. Insane. Maybe I'm too obsessed with others' work schedules and such. I'm sure many only know how many words they've written because their word ( Read more... )

Two rejections in one day the other day...but I must move on. It doesn't bother me as much anymore to get regection emails as long as I work harder, write more poems, and study more markets ( Read more... )

Yeah it's been a long long time. I just don't find myself much of an online blogger really. But, being inspired by many other Livejournals I decided retry this thing. I refuse to give you an update of the past few years through the good time and the bad. But, unlike atrocious inventions like Twitter, I'm not caring to divulge my mundane day to day ( Read more... )

Greetings.

As I slowly bring myself back from the dead, instead of creating a new LJ account I've decided to erase all the old entries on this one - be they good or depressing. I just feel like starting over, so please have patience while I work on deleting the old entries.

I applaud my local PBS and their show "Echoes" as they have been playing Celtic ( Read more... )

"...if you want to stop violence, if you want to stop wars, how much vitality, how much of yourself, do you give to it? Isn't it important to you that your children are killed, that your sons go into the army where they are bullied and butchered? Don't you care? My God, if that doesn't interest you, what does? Guarding your money? Having a good ( Read more... )

I'd like to get into giving my opinions and thoughts on certain subjects and philosophies. Think it'd be interesting. It'll probably be more or less stream of conscious and make no sense at all, but feel free to leave comments with your own opinions. To begin...a very popular topic: LOVEWhat is love? Love is not something to be bought or sold. And ( Read more... )

"Letting Go"

how i feel
there's nothing left to say
alone, so cold
feel like letting go
but no
i think of chances
not bashing my skull

flying
into the shadows
and waiting
