10 submissions in one day–hooray! Good luck!

Thanks, M. I always forget how exhausted I get from the actual work of submitting when I make a day of it. Still, it feels great to have the poems out there in the world.

Sandy, I love submitting. I'm kind of addicted to that buzz of optimism, actually!

Wait, is my math completely off?? 2 x 5= 10, 10 x 5= 50…did you send out 50 submissions?! Holy Moses!

There is definitely an optimistic buzz about the whole process, M. I love it, too.

As for the math…it all depends on how you're counting…fuzzy math maybe. Ultimately I sent to 10 journals, 5 poems a piece. I like the balance in those numbers. However, I was only dealing with 10 poems total. I do simultaneous submissions.
