So the fastest turnaround was just under three months?
And the slowest, eleven?
Damn.
Yeah, well, that's just this month. Fence turned a submission around in under a week once. And you know how quick some of the online mags can be if they see something they like.
My goal is to keep 20 or 30 or 40 envelopes of poems out at all times. Then they trickle in. Gives me something to look forward to when I go to the mailbox.
Actually, I probably should say that my goal is to write a good poem.
The trickle is probably a symptom of something else.
Oh, and Pool's been really fast, too. They're so fast that I feel guilty if I don't make myself take a break for a month or so before sending something else back out to them.
Oh yes. I'm familiar with the whole one week to one year turnaround times of litmags. So I haven't done it in a few years. Looks like nothing has changed. I would liken my packets going out and coming back to hawks circling ... some day they will spot their prey and swoop down for the kill.
Or something
Yes, or like irregular salmon going out to sea to spawn.
Or maybe like alcoholics going to a bar.
Or students on a hall pass.
Or weather, any weather, mostly rain and sleet.
Some of them wander off and stay lost like head wound victims.
Some of them leave and return like professors on Sabbatical.
