I know exactly how you feel; though I have been not writing "creatively" as long as you have (I did write for a newspaper in South Korea for six years), in 2010 I tried to resuscitate my writing career by switching to flash fiction and self-publishing my first novel.<br /><br />I've also been a fan of your writing, having come across your stuff in the same ezines I've been sending stuff to.<br /><br />I wish you much success in 2011.Jeffrey Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373848801727995732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19749883.post-14710452430300625612011-01-01T14:59:58.031-08:002011-01-01T14:59:58.031-08:00You know, education doesn't happen if there...You know, education doesn't happen if there's no risk involved. Continue to question the veracity of your craft, your voice, your dedication to both, your methodology and your background and you will continue to surprise the hell out of yourself and the rest of us. :-)JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682705118316448554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19749883.post-53259469231555759952011-01-01T07:33:10.876-08:002011-01-01T07:33:10.876-08:00thanks Glennthanks GlennCLBledsoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03142933987365726568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19749883.post-90356337479481239522010-12-29T19:34:11.607-08:002010-12-29T19:34:11.607-08:00Man, this was an informative

Wouldn't it be grand if<br />the tiny Bio that is required at<br />the bottom of your work could<br />be this piece, this opus. I bumped <br />into your work because it is out<br />there, and have been a fan for<br />a couple years now. Another<br />poet friend is just getting her<br />first chapbook published,<br />a landmark moment for her.<br />Remember what it says on<br />Bobby Byrd's header, over<br />on his site, "It is a good time<br />to be a poet, but the pay is<br />still shitty." So like many<br />artists of all sorts, you have<br />a "real teaching job" to sustain<br />you.
