Of twenty-two submissions to markets this year, I have four acceptances and four pending review!

(I choose to live in the positive (denial), but if you need to know how many rejections feel free to do the math, lol. Eh, it all balances out.)

This month is also CampNano, so I have several projects in which my goal is TO FINISH. These are almost there, excruciating, frustrating, must-complete, first drafts of projects. They are the ones I must write, but I avoid like the plague. They are the ones that float around like Guilt Ghosts that haunt the writer in me, so I’m facing them down this month.

Well — take that, Guilt Ghosts! BAM! One memoir poetry book (50 poems) COMPLETED!!! (Insert Cabbage Patch dance here)

Now, on to the first draft of my second Children’s picture book in my diversity series!
