One I especially should have read the first year I was writing, but it's still good to be reminded not to rush work. <br /><br />I'm not bragging about this year - but it is true I've little left to submit. I've worked very hard this year and exceeded 100 submissions. The success I've had, I view relative to past years but I do believe where a year or two ago I had come to hat submitting work I now make it an every Saturday thing. I guess the habit had made it far less drudgery.<br /><br />The past few weeks i've been combing through old drafts and jottings from my journals in desparation. Looks like I'm going to have to do The Daily Poet ;-)Michael A.

Are you saying that you've had...Dear Michael -<br /><br />Are you saying that you've had so many acceptances this year that you have little to send out? If so, cry me a river. Seriously, it sounds like a happy problem! If it's any comfort, I receive very few acceptance emails. Like most poets, most of the time the news is NO. <br /><br />I did not intend to stress anyone out, especially not a fine poet like you. I shared because, well, this acceptance story is so exceptional it pretty much proves the rule.

I've already fretted over what mighht be close to ready and now I read this (very insightful piece, I might add) and feel all the more stressed. <br /> ;-) You've been a big help! Michael A.
