Just submitted poetry to a lit mag for the first time, and it's also the first poetry I've written since I was a teenager. A good idea? Probably not, but I was proud of it and figured what the heck 🤷
It's easy to say you're a writer; it's much harder to actually write. Promise yourself to write, even when it's hard or when characters are acting strangely or when you'd rather be watching Netflix. Keep writing; it's the only way to improve!
are you planning on submitting a novella about such things as as
death
Death
DEATH
and other cool topics to @psychopompcom's open call?
YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH

Please keep submitting to Orion's Belt! We love seeing your work, and we can't wait to read more of it. We especially welcome speculative poetry, which we need much more of. Spread the word: if you or anyone you know has a short speculative piece, submit it to Orion's Belt.
I spend a ton of time on Twitter on my other account, but I'm not sure what to post on this dedicated writing one yet, so it'll probably be mostly retweets for now 😅
