My husband has sent in a few submissions to the monthlies, and hasn't heard yet. I haven't had the nerve, no. Go ahead and do it. Why not? Good luck. I love the poetry and the two short stories per month in there. There's always something good.

...go ahead, V, take the challenge, the plunge...

Or, if you want to practice a little, post something here on TWG or Tier II - we'd love to see it.

I am a recent subscriber, jumped on as soon as a friend lent me her copies. And I've submitted once to the monthly Readers Write.

The fiction is great, poems, too.

Hope you'll have forgotten about this in Dec, which is when my piece will (not) be printed :-)

Note to self:

December 1, 2008 - contact Otter about piece that will (not)be printed. :-)

Okay, Otter, 'fess up! Is you, or is you ain't being published in this here mag?

I won't know unless they accept it, so November? They receive a huge number of submissions, so very likely not.

It's a great open prompt.

Here's the link.

I'm gwonna do it! I just have to write it first ... :)

I am mid-summer semester right now and shouldn't even be writing posts, but this is my break from multiple regression statistical analysis (yes, it's as bad as it sounds!) ...

I like the idea of an assigned topic ... I just have to do it.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ...
