SIGH. I don't feel like I've accomplished anything AT all this March. April is PMDD (Premenstrual Dysmorphic Disorder) Awareness Month AND National Poetry Month and I had PLANS.
But the news of Anti-Asian hate has been staggering. Homeschooling has been a mental struggle. I feel so drained from doing so much, and yet, have nothing to show for any of my efforts. That's not quite true. In the month of March, I managed to write almost 50 poems. My goal is to double that for a full length collection...I'm just trying not to sound too much like an angry, tired, heartbroken and scared Asian. Most of my poems in it have been a combination of these emotions I visit on a daily basis. And I've received 3 rejections back to back - within a span of a week - and as much as the emails were positive and kind....rejections, SUCK. It makes me wonder what am I doing wrong? But also....how can I tweak my voice in my poems to be more accepted? I know I'm going to keep doing and writing and using my voice. This has just been a hard week. March is over and here we are. April. I will continue to stay focused on use the same goals and parameters. Nothing else to add but that. I'm glad you found your way here. If you'd like to stay awhile, I'd love to have you over at Between Here & Home—my monthly letter where I share what I'm reading, what I'm writing, and whatever stories I'm carrying around at the time.

Hi, there!I drink too much coffee, read too many books, and in between raising miracle babies, I find time to write.
