Crack that Whip!
I really must post more…but I’ve been busy. Writing, editing, searching for markets…not blogging. But I really need to add it to the schedule more. I have made 133 subs so far this year. 54 of them have been rejected…some of those more than once…but I am trying. I have a goal of 50 subs…
Introducing the Poet-Rie Substack!
I decided at the end of last year that I was going to make some changes to my social media presence. As a result, I tabled Patreon–where I was terrible at posting–and, instead, joined Substack as a creator. The secret motivations behind this were twofold: So far, it’s been a lot of fun, if not…
The Year So Far…
It’s been a busy two weeks so far. I’ve been writing a poem a day and submitting at least one piece a day. So far, I am sitting at 17 for the year. That’s an entire extra week’s worth. That feels pretty good. The majority of these pieces have been new, and most have been…
Obligatory Year End Update
Scant hours to go before 2024 is in the rearview mirror and 2025 is on the doorstep. Feels like it’s been both a very long and really short year. I have been part of some amazing things this year. Projects I am extremely proud of–Dastardly Damsels; Sleeve of Hearts; and my own poetry collection Two…
Another New Venture
This is a time of exploration and adjustment for me. I want to go into the New Year with a fresh start. As part of that, I am rethinking my platform presence. So, I have officially closed my Patreon creator page (if you still find it, it’s an accident) and started fresh on Substack. So…
Hail and Well Met!
Well, it’s been a minute since I touched the website at all. So, today I decided to finally do something I have been contemplating for quite some time. Consolidating all four WordPress sites into one. In the end, this will make life much easier and help me keep it organized better. But for now, it’s…
Guest Post: Deirdre Swinden
Today I am pleased to host a guest post from author Deirdre Swinden relating to her new release Somnium from Crystal Lake Publishing. Take it away, Deirdre! Sleep Paralysis: Trapped In the Nightmare Realm By Deirdre Swinden Several weeks ago, I woke to a massive black shadow standing in my doorway. Fear flooded my body,…
We Ain’t Dead Yet…
Greetings, faithful readers! It’s been far too long since you got an update. I blame it on Jo. She is having the longest European Progress/Honeymoon in the history of the world. I haven’t heard a word from her since 2018…but I still have hope. Meanwhile, I haven’t been totally neglecting the denizens of Ma’s boarding…
Over a Year Between Posts Again…
Hard to keep one’s head above water sometimes, isn’t it…? One (me) tries to keep up with everything, but sometimes things fall by the wayside. My blogs are among the things that always seem to get lost. But, this year is all about productivity, so I decided that I would work on bringing up my…
Navigating the Seas of Submissions…
Sometimes, being a writer feels like you are riding out a storm in the middle of a turbulent sea. Waves are crashing over the bow, and you are sure you are going under any moment. This week has been something like that. I made three submissions to one of my favorite markets, and all three…
