Last week I accidentally got four days off work. By this I mean I didn't request four days in a row off work but my boss, being the amazing and heartful woman she is, puts our days back-to-back when she can.
So I had me a mini-vacation [Brit English: holidays]! I wrote or finished a few new poems and the new ones were just right, right off the bat! I love it when that happens! (Though admittedly I've always learned more about my craft from the days when I had to struggle to finish pieces.) I submitted them straight away to some places I've been published in before. 'Poetry Pacific' already said thanks but passed, and I'm still waiting to hear from 'CC&D' and 'Down in the Dirt'. But it felt very good to be back in the writing game for a day! Fingers crossed that thew other pieces get published, later this year. :)
