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.
