I’ve been spending more time writing and revising my poetry lately, something that I completely pushed aside years ago. Finally deciding to focus on my writing has allowed me to become more serious about my poetry.
Writing poetry for me is hard to describe, it’s as if I set myself aside and write in another self. I enjoy the process incredibly, but it also comes with warnings. My mind realy appears to go somewhere elser when I write. The main reason I quit writing many years ago (including eventually throwing out almost my complete body of work) was that I couldn’t trust myself in that mind. The thing about me that I love most, my mind, is also the thing that scares me the most.
Well, I’ve decided it’s time to write again, and today I decided to take a step forward and begin submitting my poetry for publication in literary magazines. It often takes quite a while to hear back from these journals, but I’ll update all responses (rejections and submissions) here as they happen.
I may also begin working on producing and self-publishing a chapbook of my poetry, so I’ll update anything new in that department as it happens as well.
peace
