Wishful Thinking

I’m in the process of building this page, but it will be a bit of goals and hopes

Goals for the end of 2009

• continuing submitting poems and chapbooks once a week to lit mags, contests, anthologies etc
• 3rd chapbook is now part of a bigger project – Short Fat Yoga. Will begin revising it in December.
• Both readers have gotten back with me on comments. Will now need to take those comments so I can again look at the order of the poems as well as look to revising. I already now know some poems I need to remove and some new poems I need to write.
• Research for 3rd manuscript is complete. Not yet ready to write new poems for it. Perhaps after finishing 2nd work listed above? Did come up with some possible connecting “themes” for it while I was driving over the Thanksgiving holiday. Feels good to compile ideas and not necessarily write on it yet.
