Hello Monday

    It is Monday again.  No, I'm not surprised, Monday is very predictable.  It always comes after Sunday, and is the official end of the weekend.  Not many people look forward to Monday.  I hope Monday is not offended.  Sorry, Monday, we just don't like you.
     Last week, I submitted a poem to a new online magazine all about fairy tales.  The magazine is called Enchanted Conversation, and can be found at enchantedconversation.com.  Each issue is themed, and the first one is all about Rumpelstiltskin.  They encourage the creative retelling of classic fairy tales.  Using an alternate character as a main character is one type of story that could be submitted.  I opted for poetry, sometimes a thing just hits you and you have to go with it.  They are only accepting 10 pieces to publish.  I wrote the poem specifically for this, but I don't mind using it elsewhere if they don't accept it.  I just visited the site, and they have 150 submission to read.  So, if I'm doing the math correctly, my poem has a 1 in 15 chance of being accepted for publication.  I can live with those odds.  The next issue will be about Snow White, and they are only accepting poetry this time.  The Snow White submissions are due May 11-14.  I hope that I don't procrastinate too long, but it really seems like a long way off.  Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go!
