One of my goals is to start sending my essays out to small publications and hopefully get published, so when I pitch my next book to a publisher, I can at least say I've had a handful of pieces published. I submitted an essay to the Louisville Review back in May and assumed it wasn't accepted, but I just got word that it was! Hooray! It was the first essay I submitted, so it's really encouraging. Now all I have to do is find time to keep submitting more essays to other places.
Our baby George was born 12/29, so I've been struggling even more to wedge in time to write. I go back to teaching (only one class) in two weeks, so now I need to add that to the schedule. Even if I can get in a few minutes of writing each day, it will at least get my brain warmed up to hopefully shoot out ideas to me throughout the day that I can jot down.
For now, I need to throw some coffee down my throat and brace myself for lugging a toddler and 1-month-old out into a blizzard to get to a doctor's appointment.
