I submitted a piece of nonfiction today; it felt very scary. No hiding behind poetic license. It was an essay about grief, something we all know about as we get older.
As I get older, it is interesting to me how time passes quickly and slowly and quickly again. And for the first time, I can “measure” a year with what I’ve had published.
From their site: “We accept submissions to the journal from June 1, to January 15, at noon EST. We greatly prefer online submissions—some submission categories require it. Please see the following pages for full submission guidelines:”
I have long heard about Crazyhorse literary journal, and have now submitted a short story to its annual fiction contest. Crazyhorse is a literary journal with a 50-plus year history of publishing fine poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Reading about its journey over the years to its present home at College of Charleston is interesting; this journal is a survivor.
I like to support new literary ventures, and am supporting and submitting to this new journal, the Winnow Magazine,
Yes, people still read. Yes, people still write. Don’t forget that on days when you feel discouraged.
