Whats up everyone?
Me?
I accept what is laid before me.
However, I just found out a publication lost my submissions for their yearly journal. Sadly, they admit some submissions went into a spam folder in spite they sent me an acceptance email (which I sent to the editor to show her, since she said she did not have my work in her folder). I had been wondering why no other email had come to let me know about the book my chosen poem would appear in. Oh well... I of all people know to look in the spam folder before deleting items. Oh well...
I was looking forward to sharing. On the other hand, 'My Father Was A Jazz Singer' did appear in a publication on-line June 19th and I forgot to post it. Oh well... One publication is better than none, I suppose.
On another note...lil'sista and I are having fun. There are a few nips and tucks here and there, but I will survive. Or should I say, we will survive.
Its been a while, but we went to see this really great band after dinner last night. Dinner was a bit 'sweet' for her and my taste, hubby loved it all, but we settled for fish and chips at the pub watching 'Jagged'. Great music guys!

Some submissions went into a spam folder.?? That's no way to run a business. I would be a little upset if I had that happen. I hope all publishers are not so careless.
I'm so glad that you are having fun with your sister. Good times and good eats. Keep up the enjoyment...
I felt exactly the same way, but what can I do now. Hopefully I embarrassed them with proving they accepted my work, hopefully REALLY embarrassed them, because the poet/editor knows me personally here in New Jersey, so each time she sees me she will remember...hopefully...
They also take pay for submissions for a separate contest, I am not sure I want to try it again so soon...
SPAM?? That's not really forgivable in my opinion!
Yeah, I got an email from her yesterday saying they found my name in their files, but no submission. I have to proof, but what can I do. She claimed that they must have sent me an email saying my file was empty to resend the work, but why would they accept a poem if they did not get my work??? but I have to move on.
that's happened to me a few times. magazines are just run by volunteers more often than not, still, being > < close is a pain.
