Fellow Readers,
I haven't forgotten about you, but I'm sorry if missing a week in blog-land has felt that I've neglected you. I'm excited to announce that I'm probably the only person not watching the Super Bowl. I typically root for the underdog team. But I will admit to looking up the score on the web at least once. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Valentines Day! Love the one you're with regardless of how imperfect they are. My husband and I just recently celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary. 13 on the 13th. And sad to say, that for the first 13 years of our entire existence together I was very mentally ill, and as emotionally unstable as they come. My behavior definitely made it for a wild ride, one that I'll admit I wished he hadn't endured it as long as he did. But my wish for the next 13 years is to show him what a mentally and emotionally stable partner looks like, and is capable of. I'm hoping in the next several weeks that my muse becomes recharged enough to allow me to get back into writing. It's hard to go through these "down" periods where I have to walk away from writing because I'm getting burned out emotionally. It's become a necessary evil, so I don't become mentally paralyzed again. I'm so afraid of losing what I've longingly accomplished. It's almost feeling like I'm the prisoner out on a parole that I could violate at any given moment, and wind up back incarcerated. In the meantime, if I'm not writing then I should be reading something to take in more emotional inventory for later. I recently received a gal's story that I will be beta-reading for her helping her towards the April deadline. I recently received another literary magazine rejection for the poetry I submitted. I have a 50% rejection rate to a 33% acceptance rate in literary magazines/anthologies submissions. I also have a blog post that I sent off to be published on another fellow author's website. That was accepted, and will be coming out in March 2022. All in all March seems to be a busy month for me in the publication world. I have one more literary magazine query I'm awaiting a response on. Talk to you all next week, Jan
