That last one is my spouse every time he sends a story to his editor. “He hasn’t said anything yet!” Me: “It’s Sunday at 8 pm, maybe he’s… not working at the moment?”
(To be fair, it’s also me every time I send a chapter to my critique partners, but I KNOW they read email Sunday nights, so it’s not paranoid in my case.)

I don’t know what you are talking about. I never clean out my entire email and then hit refresh over and over waiting for Nicole to email me back. NEVER.

If I did have a shrine to Nicole in my home, and I’m not saying I do because ahahahahaha that would be terrifying, but if I did, it would be in thanks for such clear, swift, and kind responses.
How far that little candle throws her beams. So shines a good deed in a weary world.

I for one don’t have her picture taped up over my bed. THAT WOULD BE WEIRD.

*Of course* the poetry quota isn’t filled. It never is.
Do any other essay/fiction writers feel like switching over to poetry would make it a thousand times easier to be published? Because I keep seeing zines and journals begging for more poetry submissions. But then I’d have to write poetry, which I def don’t do.

as a poet, I’m side-eying this. Also: no, it is not a thousand times easier. 🙁

Really? That’s seriously so surprising to me because honestly I see so many websites and zines *begging* people to submit more poetry (especially the past few months) and politely asking writers to stop sending in fiction because they’re bombarded with stories and essays that they’ll never get around to publishing.

As the judge of a yearly writing contest with a pretty sweet purse, I feel comfortable saying that “we especially encourage poetry” actually means, “could a real poet send us something good instead of the dreck people keep sending us because they think it’ll be easier?”
