I got a poem accepted by “Raintown Review,” by the guest editor Joseph Salemi.

I get so lazy about submitting that often the only thing that gets me moving is hearing word that a particular editor responds quickly.

(Which reminds me, I did the same thing when Mezzo Cammin came out. They were giving responses in a matter of days. I never did hear anything, even after two followup emails.)

Over on Gaz, people were talking about Dr. Salemi giving quick replies, so I jumped at the chance.

The moral of this story? Bad news, good news, tell me NOW.

(And if you know of journals that reply quickly, I’ll give you all the nickels I get from the “But that’s the point!” poets. Yeah, nuffink.)
