Hey all! I haven't logged in here in years, but I wanted to let y'all know that I just finished up an Masters of Fine Arts in poetry thanks, in part, to my time on this website <3 This has been such a wonderful community for me. You can find some of ...

Hello everyone!

0 min read
I completely apologize for being so absent lately. A lot as been going on in my life and for whatever reason the poetry has just... not being coming. Which is a very sad state of affairs but I'm having some trouble fixing it. I am, however, working on another little project which is channeling my creativity, the first installment of which can be found here: I would put this up in my account but I haven't figured out how yet. I will (hopefully) be back into full swing soon! ~ Emily

So in keeping with my apparent tradition of writing a journal entry on my birthday, here's yet another birthday entry. This birthday was probably the most uneventful I've ever had, despite its being my 21st. It's okay though; it's to be expected, since I just got back from a huge conference and have therefore spent most of the day making up work. I do, however, have some resolutions for my 21st year. And even if I can't keep them all, if I can have them stick around for even a few weeks or months, I'm sure they'll be helpful. They are annoyingly vague, but my sleep-deprived brain can't come up with anything better at the moment. They are: -

I checked my dA for the first time in four years. Ha. I have no idea if you're still around, but ... hi? 
Hi Emily! Your birthday's coming up and believe it or not I scored some duplicate books for my birthday last year and you're the only person I "know" who would appreciate them.

When you pop back in feel free to send me a private message, I'd love to post them to you.
Oh that would be fantastic! (I'm sorry it took me so long to respond; as usual I've been off an on this site, although I AM still writing poetry! I just haven't posted it in a long time because I'm toying with the idea of trying to publish some of it, and I'm not sure if posting it up on dA will render it unpublishable.) What are you up to, by the way?
The majority of places do only publish original pieces, that is, those that haven't appeared on the Internet or anywhere else before. However I've been submitting to journals and anthologies that do publish the previously published. I just have to sort through and find them. That and I'm doing what you're doing, keeping some of the newer ones offline to increase my options.

See private message!
I just need to figure out which ones to keep offline and which to put up. I'm actually editing some of my old work and since the older drafts are already up here anyway, it probably wouldn't hurt to stick them back up.

You know what we should do? We should have a little writing group, email-style. That way we can look over things without falling victim to the "you published this one the internet" BS.

Great to hear from you again! :glomp:
