Well, I started a story the other day about a pregnant girl, but I don't know if I'll finish it. Was scribbling as I waited for my daughter to finish choir rehearsal and could do none of my paying work because I was away from a computer. I hate the fact that I'm writing, not when I don't have work to do, but when I can't get to my work. Ick! Scibbled some poems that way too.

Stuff accepted at Poetry:stet hasn't shown up yet.

Got some acknowledgements and a couple of rejections. Duotrope Digest's records indicate that my acceptance rate (around 12% right now) is higher than average. I don't know that I feel it. My wallet certainly couldn't tell you.

Have been anxious about a couple of contests I've entered. Don't know why. It is pretty much out of my hands. Well, I suppose it might be because I entered thinking I had good chances. Again, I'm not sure anymore why I would think that.

Should get a couple CDs soon to review for Blogcritics: one by The Stryker/Slagle Band and another by the Bob Mintzer Quartet. Got the Quartet recording (through iTunes) by Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau. I'm sure someone else got the assignment, but I wonder if they post more than one review of the same work.

Like I've got time to sit around writing reviews! Yippee.
