migraine

(this sucks)

i believe the phrase i used to describe this was

bleeding out of my hair
pouring out of my eyes
pain in waves
that only escalate
as it shakes my hands
blurs my thoughts
trying
violently
to crash
out of my skin
unsuccessfully

a dark room does wonders

took a cab laid in the dark miracles can happen - i feel pretty human again by the way thanky to all y'all at dalva last night - i'd name you but my browser won't support it right now, sigh it feels good to see good people i'm sad that my mood was so much lower than usual but the good news is I made my job decision and I am staying with the nice queers and not moving on to the potentially cranky and baggage laden filmmakers no regrets

anecdotes anyone?

a few question for all you gorgeous poets/writers/freelancers etc. out there

where do you go to find places to submit your work?

how do you choose which places are worth the reading fee?

(and for you published folks) how did you come into contact with/choose your publisher?

now of course I know the poets market and various poet mags - I am looking more for personal process, if you're wiling to share
I am trying to get a grip on sending work out
and though I have read the entire - cover to cover - poets market, I am floundering
