I have a small batch of poems ready to go out but I just can't make myself send them out. I wonder why? I like seeing my poems in journals. Most importantly: I like sharing that space with other writers. But I just don't have that submission fire anymore. I don't know why. I should have that fire. I want to keep my work out there. I want to share my work.

The chicken I roasted yesterday was great. Tasty. Simple to make. And now I got a lot of chicken leftovers for sandwiches.

What a cute cat! And her name is Face. I miss having a cat around. Correction: I missing have a nice cat around. Some of the cats I had as a child were wonderful pets. The two cats my parents now have are not wonderful pets. One won't let anyone touch her. The other is like five minutes away from death.

I can't wait for 7AM to roll around. I'm going out for some coffee.

I just realized my right foot is bare. The left foot has a sock on. Ha. How did that happen? No wonder my right foot is cold.

I know what you mean. But poems don't publish themselves...
Send those suckers out!
With all the great journals accepting submissions via submission manager or email now, you can send to a bunch of good places without spending a dime, which is a huge plus.
She is a cute cat! :) And the name suits her. I was so lucky to snap such an appropriate picture of her on the first try.
You should get a cat!
