A day off from writing

Wheeee!! Finished my first round of 30 poems at ITWS yesterday!

Have taken the day off from writing. Energy-wise, I'm just depleted. Hubby still sick after two weeks; it's such a worry not knowing what's wrong. The medical exams are taking ages.

It's also my dad's first birthday since... and my mood is rather darkish with a tendency to "brood over broken broomsticks" like the witches in my favorite primer.

Recent Acceptances/ Rejection:

The Potomac accepted two poems for their next issue:

Coroner Kui Pours Wine in the Dark
Single Hung Window

and another wheeeee!!
DIAGRAM accepted my poem: first, there was chloroform -- for their upcoming issue. After years and years for submitting and stalking, I've made it past the front door.

A rejection from Unpleasant Event Schedule:

   Submission date: 23 January 2006
   Reply date: 25 February 2006
   Compulsive-obsessive thought: Submit again, submit again, submit again.
