Be the Change

almost friday!

Hey, everyone!

I've almost finished August's shows, and I spent some time reviewing today. Why is it people feel the need to praise works that obviously need to be polished a bit more? I gave a 2.5 today to a piece that's average was 4.5. I felt really bad doing it, but the item in question needed a ton of work (in my opinion, and judging by the average rating, maybe I'm wrong...). I just think that giving out 5s like they're nothing, doesn't help a writer.

Updates in other areas of my life:

I've been watching that Mind Control with (whats-his-name) show, and it's creeping me out!

My husband thinks he's being abducted by aliens. I told him I still love him.

Great free verse! Most modern published poetry I've seen (and studied) looks more like this, although it seems like the majority of poets on this site write in a more traditional style. Why is that, I wonder?

Hopefully we'll be printing the magazine early next week!
