All Apologies

I just want to apologize for a brief absence on the blog here--almost a whole week gone, eh? But as I was instructed as a young lad, if I ain't got nothing good to talk about, then shut my trap. Or something like that.

Anyway, the past week has been busy for me. After barely submitting anything since last October, I've put together 12 separate submissions for 12 separate journals. My goal is to have an acceptance to report by the end of the calendar year. And with a recent nice rejection from The Pedestal, I'm thinking it's possible. Maybe.

As far as this blog is concerned, I've got some interviews with poets lined up, and a few other ideas buzzing around in my head. So I think this brief dry spell will soon be at an end. And anyway, when there's nothin' else goin' on, there's always Wednesday (tomorrow!) and the poetry prompt.

So that's my update--until tomorrow. Hope everyone's having an outstanding June!
