Huge shock and surprise coming up, ladies and gentleman. The end of the month is quickly approaching, which means my self-imposed deadline is quickly approaching, and I am not ready. Were you shocked? All things considered, I should be ready. I have my four pieces selected, revised once or twice, out to friends for comments, I even know where I am going to submit. But I am still not ready. I am, again, terrified and nervous (read: nauseous) about sending these suckers off. Honest to goodness I thought that after the first go 'round I would be less apprehensive. Apparently my reserve tank of ego is running a bit low. (Now that is shocking.)
I wish that I could post some of my stuff here for you all to read over and offer comments, but those damned literary publications I am submitting to consider pieces posted to this little old blog as "previously published works". So basically, I would royally screw myself. Alas, I shall prevail. I will go all Scarlett O'Hara in a dress made of curtains on this mother, shake my fist and submit my pieces without fear (okay, with minimal fear).
Oh, God...just need a few more days...
