Submission

I'm not sure what to write today, but it has been almost a week, so I felt I was overdue.

Thanks to my dear friend Alana (Renegade writer) I submitted two poems to an open contest. Even paid a whopping eight dollars for the submission. I don't expect to win, but I need to experience this if I am to continue writing, writing about anything substantial. Be it beauty, bitterness, or downright monstrosity-ness. I just plain need to write, send them out into the world and see what happens. Maybe the gutter will seem closer to my face than I want, or maybe, a dragonfly will land on my hand and sit there for a moment, its quick wings slowing to feel the fine hairs on my knuckles.

Maybe someone will say my writing means something to them, anything.
