62, 63, 64, and 65

working on rough drafts of those stories at the moment. Also some new poems. Read a collection by Rita Dove to inspire me. I want to grow into a poet like her :)

No new acceptances, no new rejections either.

I got nothing out on the 15th; the stories weren't ready and there was nothing I could do to make them "hurry up and develop" 'cause I tried that line of thinking with 5 pregnancies and except for the last, it was 9 months and sometimes a bit more;-) Patience, dear Gwendolyn, patience.

But I do have my two fiction chapbooks --"Jumpin' and Shoutin' and Carryin' On" and "Bride For A Day" -- ready for submission to a contest.

And I've been sending out reprints. That's one way to feel productive when the writing's slow.
