So, I did it. I actually submitted some of my poetry to different journals today. I did quite a few different journals, and it was terrifying, but I did it.
The hardest part was probably getting all the paperwork together, hoping I had formatted everything correctly (as everyone wants it slightly differently), and of course hitting the submit button despite myself. I spent hours in the past looking up submission guidelines, reading journals and published poets' work... I'm not actually expecting too much, but I really was glad to try.
The journals I submitted to were: Darkling, Garbanzo, the Missouri Review and Bellevue. I personally loved my works, but I know everyone has a different opinion. Unfortunately, it could be months before I hear back from anyone...
On a happy note, I am also working on creating a religion for some fantasy books I have been working on. It is a lot of fun but so difficult. I also look too much into things and want to do, possibly, too much. Not only do I want a religion, but I want to write books for that religion (short ones of course), modify proverbs, and even create languages. This may be too much for one lifetime, but I will try. Message me if you would like links to any of the sites I used for helping me with this. I would put them in here now, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. I did use the Pathfinder rulebooks a lot...
Anyway, time to relax before another day of work.

Another Sleepy Saturday
So.... I've been super bad lately with keeping up on this blog so I'm going to try to do better. I have good excuses but there should be no excuse. This is my dream after all.
Today, I worked on some projects I hope to post pictures of later. I played some games and slept. Then I started writing. It has been too long, and I feel everything I write is strange and a bit dark. However, it is writing so I won't complain. In hoping to have a real computer tomorrow and internet. Then I will be able to do more on this blog. Posting from the phone is hard!!!
Anyway, back to writing. I am making lists for a religion I am creating. It is probably the hardest thing I have ever done. From myths on nature to the nature of the gods... I will work hard!!! Hopefully when I am done I can share it with you all. I at least have a list of gods and the beginning of a creation myth. Then I need to rewrite all of it on the perspective of the different races. Finally give the religion it's own poets and bibles. Maybe a lofty goal but I am going to try.
And here is a random picture from seeing The Hobbit. It was ok. It made me want to write anyway!!!
