new year plus

yes, it's been a while since i've posted anything--life seems to have intervened in the interim---but life goes on--other writing has been similarly reluctant--probably the main thing that reminds me that i do attempt to write is the occasional rejection from submissions that i did to contests (usually with entry fee) or to magazine/litzines several months ago--no suprises there except for the occasional encouragement from an editor who explains that although we didn't select your stuff, it didn't totally suck--ok, to be fair, that is my paraphrasing--some of the rejections have been very kind and actually supportive---but i do not want to talk about rejections now--they too are a part of life especially if you put yourself in that position attempting to get your stuff read---as far as writing, my real lifeline is Shirley and the folks at WordCatalystMagazine- my column and occasional poem or two there---i don't seem to be able to find a way to prime the well but i am still working on it
peace
