When will I finally write something worthwhile? I’ve tried submitting my poems to major magazines and poetry anthologies and I get knocked back every time. I think I’ll just stop submitting for a while. My head hurts.
When
One response to “When”
-
I understand.
Sometimes I think editors are jaded, with the volume of submissions they receive. Their brains may be in just as much murk as ours are, over time. I have reviewed submission guidelines and contemplated it myself, but the structured, analytical nature of being published is an anathema to the very poetical, spiritual nature of most of those persons, like ourselves, that write in the stanzical form
What you write, IS worthwhile. It is finding that one person, that sees it at the right time. Many, many famous, beloved authors, poets and geniuses of the written word were rejected more times than we probably know, prior to being published.
Don’t give up. However, if stopping submissions for a while will save your spirit…recover and let it strengthen your resolve to write in time; let it become part of what you write, and never let go of those dreams.
They are the essence of your soul.
Don’t ever let anyone take your essence.
You are talented and lovely, and I follow you because I see this-and I am not alone.
Eternal Blessings,
Holly ❤
