Reposted by Robin TurnerTodd Dillard @toddedillard.bsky.social · 02/03/2026one of the neat things about submitting to the fancier lit mags is that by the time they send you a rejection all the cells in your body have been replaced with newer cells, they're not rejecting you but as past version of yourself, how quaint 929445

In revising you teach yourself. You find your own information buried in your body. It is still alive until you are not. —Fanny Howe, RIP 116750

Listen to their gossip. Let them tell you how they've learned to bake bread. To carve clarinet reeds. Let them comb your hair. Help them remember the color orange. The scratch of wool. 313419

Reposted by Robin TurnerKelli Russell Agodon @kelliagodon.bsky.social · 19/11/2024The two quotes I always share with poets & writers about submitting their work are: "Don't self-select" and "It's their job to say no, not yours." I believe that, more often than not, the biggest obstacle to publication is ourselves. #writinglife 310116
