March Writing Submission
The little story I'm submitting this month is about Connecticut and my grandmother and kind of motherhood in general. It's a lot more straightforward/less experimental than a lot of my other writing tends to be these days, but maybe that's a good thing. This is a portion of my grandmother's house in North Haven, Connecticut. Love it there...it's so peaceful and beautiful.
So one of my New Year's Resolutions is to actually SUBMIT all the little bits of writing I've been working on, rather than let them languish as .doc files on my computer because they're not perfect enough to send out, or I'm scared I'm not a good enough writer, or whatever else it is that's keeping me from getting my writing out into the world. I'm exhausted late on March 31, but this week I 1) finished a piece I started months ago, 2) decided on where to submit, and 3) submitted. This month's submissions go to:

Oh, and PS, I've gotten 6 rejections from the 20 journals I submitted to last month, but two of those rejections were handwritten "this isn't exactly right for us but we like your work please send us more" vs the standard form letter. Those handwritten notes are really encouraging! :)
