"Not Ours to See," from the manuscript in progress "Habit of Doubt," or whatever it will be called, was accepted by Smash Cake, which actually pays a little. These poems deal with a period of my life that occurred a few years ago when Jillian and I were first living together and I underwent testing for Huntington's Disease. The manuscript isn't quite "there" yet, but people seem to like it...

I had this idea I was going to write another series of month poems similar to the series in ANTHEM. I wrote one, "February", which was just picked up by Right Hand Pointing #33, guest edited by Howie Good.

A poem, "Crow or Car Tire," accepted by Leaf Garden Press.

"11:30," a poem, was accepted by decomP.

My flash fiction series is ready to go with the first two pieces, except I don't have a title...it's about a barren couple who teach at an all-girls boarding school. I'm thinking "The Idealists."

Another RICELAND poem, "Chairs," was accepted by Verse Wisconsin for a special issue.

The same poem led another journal to solicit some fiction from me. Unfortunately, I don't have much worth mentioning to send. Lot of work to do this week. 2 exams left to write, Ghoti is late, I'm on duty this weekend, and I have to proctor an SAT exam Saturday. Not a lot of time. Maybe next week, I'll be able to write...
