Well, hey. Let's encourage each other! I need to drill down into my chapbook and get that sent out the first half of this year anyway. I'll double-down on my work and build a submission tracker on my computer. You should send out some more of your pieces, too! Your work is solid. It will get rejected a lot, like anything, but it will get picked up somewhere, I'm sure. It's good enough. Remember that even Plath got rejected an absurd amount, and she is iconic today. 😊

Yesss, it's for this encouragement I live for. I'll totally ask you to get your chapbook manuscript ready. Just today, button poetry declared their chapbook winners. I hope you send them yours this year too. Thanks. I'd much rather call my poems amateurish. But this year, I'm hoping to send my work out into the world *🤞* Indeed, even Sylvia Plath was rejected. Good grief.
