I did it! I submitted something! Yay. And yes, I know I need to do that regularly, but it's still scary. I recently found a poem I'd written almost two years ago and thought was rather good. Not great, but not bad. Today I revised it a bit, gave it a title ("Eulogy for a Peach"), and e-mailed it to Poetry Bay, an online poetry magazine. I decided to try online markets with this one, as it's something old (read: I haven't put tons of work into it) and I'd like to get a few more writing credits relatively quickly before I try to break into bigger markets. I'm hoping that since it's all by e-mail, the response time will be quicker this way. And I won't have spent anything on postage.

I'm starting a "submissions out" count to keep track of these things over on the sidebar. :-)
