RebeccaB67 is taking pictures!

vague but..... 3 days ago

This is one of those things that stays on my list but morphs and mutates. Right now I want to get an article published in a photography magazine. And I want to get some photos published in local/regional magazines.



sent my poems in to Poetry magazine 1 month ago

I sent four of my favourite poems in to Poetry magazine, and I’m waiting for a response. I keep checking the status with the account I created at their website, but it still hasn’t been reviewed yet, and it’s been 11 days already. I don’t feel very optimistic about the success of these poems at such a prestigious publication, but if they reject me, I’ll just have to try again and submit somewhere else.

More form rejection letters.

It’s really strange. I read a great deal, often three or four novels a week. There are books in every room in the house. I studied English Literature at university. I can write and I know that what I am writing is worth reading. It appears, though, that it is not “marketable”.

I’m getting quite frustrated.

This goal is a bit closer this morning – I’ve been commissioned to write a review/synopsis piece for a website (which may be made into a book) investigating the Cahiers Pour l’Analyse journal and introducing it to the English-speaking world.



It's a long way 2 months ago

I currently don’t have anything ready yet. But I have started to write something that will hopefully be the best thing I’ve written. At least it will be the best planned. So I’m off to a start, at least!



this may actually happen soon 2 months ago

I just got an internship doing data entry drudgery at the local rag known around here as the stranger. If I am a good little intern, I might get to write a blurb for the listings!
It would be pretty neat to see my name in print.



opblaaskrokodil is writing her novel

I am marking this as done. 2 months ago

The beginning of my book will get published in a magazine :) So I am waiting on two offline publications. I am going to mark this one as done.

I also got published in the online Romka Magazine recently and the Chinese webzine Moon approached me for their upcoming issue.

I am going to spam all the online photography zines with my stuff until I feel confident enough to walk into offline magazines offices.
