Queries to Literaries, a

Submitting all day from my hovel,
Agents rejecting my novel
I put pride aside
Die a little inside
Send more queries, more excepts and grovel

I write in my head during morning crosswalk duty.

My latest is very meta:

I grip the stop sign
Finger tapping syllables
Haiku writing time

2022 writing resume:

I wrote a lot and submitted some. (It is possible that my stuff was not dismissed on sight).
I critique partnered and found critique partners.

I also read a (for me) insane over 170 new books, reread a lot more, analysed, read again, ...

I would be pouring myself a drink even if 2022 had not been the year from hell, health wise.

Being tearful over my own poem.

Mind you, I am almost ankle deep in torn out note book pages. For this one thing.

So, I've just done my writerly accounts for 2022 - 290 pieces published this year (200 last year) out of the 580 pieces published since I started this submitting business properly in October 2019.

Obviously, there is always more to achieve and that book deal isn't going to magic itself out of thin air, but - given the year I've had and some of the difficulties - the turning up every day thing has worked!

She moves through the shadows,
That space where time has little meaning
And knowledge stands in limbo.

She could just wait until
Her breath returns, but
Why push when the pull
Is a temporary thrill.

So she waits for the next shoe to drop,
Caught in the crosshairs
Of something she cannot stop.

To go back, impossible,
To stay, negligible,
She sighs and waits for the inevitable.

Good idea. My 7 things are...

(in particular .)
(in particular )
(much of my collection being late 70s/early 80s bands/singers)
(association, Rugby and American)


(in particular my chinchilla named Miko - OK my son's chinchilla that my wife and I look after, who is still named Miko)

If that makes connections I shall be surprised but it is an interesting exercise.

The Triggering Townsend: On Writing the Actual Subject

When it comes to emotional events, I’m notoriously dry-eyed. I don’t get misty at funerals, or weddings, or graduations. I didn’t cry when my kids were born, or when my pets died. It’s not that I’m truly unmoved. I’m often a raging sea of emotions at the
