February Writing Submission

I used to live right on the Hyde Street cable car line in San Francisco. Loved it there.

So one of my New Year's Resolutions is to actually send out for publication some of the stuff I've been writing. One of my current projects is a series of memoir-type stories about San Francisco, where I lived for 7 years. The form of these stories is not traditional...each is like a little collection of snapshots, hopefully adding up to more than a sum of it's parts. I love these stories---they're how I see the world--but don't know how commercially viable they are. Only one way to find out, right? So, in a burst of energy and efficiency, I submitted one of these stories, "Cable Cars," to the following literary journals (I list them here as this list may be helpful to other writers; I never know where to send my stuff):

• AGNI Magazine
• American Literary Review
• Black Warrior Review
• Colorado Review
• Coppernickle
• Creative Nonfiction
• Denver Quarterly
• Front Range Review
• Instant City
• Many Mountains Moving
• Meridian
• The Missouri Review
• Narrative Magazine
• Palooka
• Pilgrimage
• Portland Review
• Santa Clara Review
• Santa Monica Review
• Southeast Review
• Subtropics

Fingers crossed something comes of it. But even if it doesn't, that's OK...I'm sick of feeling bad about never sending anything out. All I need to remedy that is to actually send stuff.

Stay tuned for March's submission. :)
