Looks like we're in for a rainy day today...This makes me want to grab a pencil and spend the morning playing sudoku (which--I've been told--helps delay the onset of senility. I could use a brain recharging!)
I've got two stalled web-projects, so I'm feeling at loose ends. Meh. I should probably do some resume-sending. Research grad school programs that won't land me in a debtors' prison. Or write something I can actually sell, like a cookbook or a mystery novel. Or a mysterious and novel cookbook. Or whatever.
Okay, that's it for career-related angst.
I've started readings submissions for blossombones, and we're getting a lot of good stuff! I've still got a bit of reading to do, but I hope to start sending out some responses pretty soon.
In addition to some fab poetry, I'm also reading the new Elizabeth George novel Careless in Red. I hope it's better than the last one, which I found so depressing, I couldn't even finish reading it! (It is a RARE occasion that I actually abandon a book with no intention of returning...and What Came Before He Shot Her is one of them. Just couldn't read it anymore...)
I've got a pretty decent stack of unread books in my office. This makes me happy. Still, I have plans for a little bookstore jaunt at the end of the week. Can't wait!
I'm not a big shopper; I'm dead bored in a shoe store, but a book store--well, that's another story!
Also: Two poetry acceptances this week, from Mythic Delirium and Ghoti. Yay!
I also got a form-letter rejection for a short fiction piece, but that's okay...Am soldiering on...

They do? Couldn't imagine sudokus were good for anything...
Just discovered your site. I'll start exploring it thoroughly for the poetry...
best greetings
