@ewenglass It took my 18 years and constant revision for one poem to find light. Don’t give up faith on a piece no matter the rejections. Keep polishing and workshopping and resuscitating if you feel it is worth it.
@brecht_dp The secret is not giving up. No matter what.
If you want to be published, read the journals you want to see yourself in and constantly revise your work.
It will happen. Hang in there.
I am honored and humbled to have @3ElementsReview accept a piece for the “Curfew, Transplant, Howl” challenge!! The depth of the well of my appreciation is bottomless.
(That was a hard mix of words, to be honest!! But I always love a good challenge for writing…)
Thank you!
@Lashond09696605@NC_Governor Hi Lashond, I don’t live in China anymore—I’m in Peru now. But it has been better to live and teach in countries that value education and pay teachers well than to live in a country that values guns over children and where I had to work 3 jobs to pay the bills.
