A few one month or less, I see. That's good.
I sent out a batch last week. First I've sent out in ages. No doubt I'll post about its fate when that is revealed ...
What's your ratio of rejections to acceptances?
Have you received any acceptances this month? How many?
And, how many poems, on average, do you send out in any given month?
Does each rejection represent a batch of 3 or more poems? (sorry for all the questions...but I'm curious)
Are these all "form" rejections? Are any of these or past rejections hand-written notes from editors encouraging you to submit again in the future, etc?
What publication credit are you proudest of? Do you have a dream list of publications you want to see your work published in? (a top 5 or 10 list?)
Do you have a manuscript, either chapbook or book that you're sending to contests?
I think I may finally be there. Ready to get on this um, bandwagon. (shhhh....don't tell anyone) Probably shouldn't've admitted it out loud. I just feel like I'm finally sick or bored or exhausted or whatever of posting my poems on my blog or on various boards. It seems so....pointless.
Good. I'm glad you're both sending out. Your poems should have a wider audience.
Laurel, I'll email you my answers to your survey.
Jack
At least you're sending out. I think it has been a year since I've done so! Do you have a book yet?
- Laura :-)
Laura,
Send out. Rejection is a byproduct of acceptance. It's kind of like some rolling off the fire. Of course, my fire is mostly smoke, but what the hell.
No book yet. 1997 chapbook at Pudding House.
I know about your chapbook, silly.
Dan says "hi."
- Mrs. Riehle-Merrill
Wow. Hi!
How are you guys?
What a nice surprise!
I went to Tremblay's big/final retirement reading tonight.
Where are you all now?
And start sending poems out!
Email me!
(Oh, and up above where I said, "It's kind of like some rolling off of fire." I meant to say "smoke" not "some." I wonder how these typos happen.)
