I have to define it for myself, but I think it will be a pull-back of sorts. Just getting myself in check so I can focus on what matters most. <br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the summer, too.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-23570835318173368652010-07-28T09:16:40.719-04:002010-07-28T09:16:40.719-04:00Very cool, Jessie.

So many places to choose from it's hard to keep them all straight.<br /><br />Many more publishing outlets than 10 years ago.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-16138900892246738892010-07-27T17:07:08.888-04:002010-07-27T17:07:08.888-04:00So funny we were both posting, in part, about aimi...So funny we were both posting, in part, about aiming high today for our poetry!<br /><br />You've already had some great heights by being published by Cave Canem :)<br /><br />One of the big ones for me may not seem big to other people because it is fairly new but Cave Wall puts out such amazing work that I just really want to be included and The Greensboro Review because that is where I did my undergrad work.<br /><br />Congrats on the review!Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-73486508489057014522010-07-27T11:01:06.130-04:002010-07-27T11:01:06.130-04:00J--

I sometimes refer to them as "my sponsors" as they published me before anyone else.<br /><br />Also, I can SO relate to your post! <br /><br />RE: After returning from vacation, my natural urge to pull back and take stock is kicking into high gear. I feel the urge to save time, spend less, trim down, and throw out!<br /><br />Yes! I have been feeling this too lately AND thinking about school shopping. This year my daughter's school starts BEFORE Labor day and I'm so annoyed, I feel as if they stole a week of summer vacation from us. Anyway, a little rant thrown in there with a "I hear you!" and can really relate to this post!<br /><br />Happy summering!Kelli Russell Agodon - Book of Kellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798460634708905783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-36942603732115031762010-07-27T08:30:16.101-04:002010-07-27T08:30:16.101-04:00Thanks Marc.

Maybe they'll wave the fee (if there's a fee). Good luck and have fun with itJanuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036651950996873368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-19878463596775121172010-07-27T08:19:37.070-04:002010-07-27T08:19:37.070-04:00congratulations on your being published in the &qu...congratulations on your being published in the "review" and yeah, i can see why a a rejection letter from the "new yorker" would be appealing to have in your file..<br /><br />i know what you mean about winter and the kids: aarghh...coats,hats, gloves, boots, just to get them out the door...then they lose the gloves, etc.<br /><br />my confession: i got an e-mail yesterday asking me to enter again in a writing contest i won first place in last year - my first thought was: "what if i don't win this year, will i be hurt?" 2nd thought "who cares? i'll have fun w/it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
