Women's Block

Several women I know seem to be having the "hard to let go of the asshole" syndrome...speaking from experience...I regret not going after my ex like I should have. Not for any monetary gain but if I had been smart, I would have slammed his pathetic ass with a restraining order and charged him with harassment. Oh well.

I'm trying my damndest to keep up with the goal of submitting one piece a month to a contest or literary journal, online or otherwise but it is difficult and intimidating at the very least. However, in my Editing and Publishing class we read over some submissions which my professor received for her literary magazine and if those people can get published, I sure as hell can. It all helps to make it a little less daunting.

As the election draws nearer, the panic I feel at the thought of Bush being reelected increases exponentially. Fear for my family and friends, my sister and unborn niece/nephew, fear for the kids who are in school and trying to make it. I don't like feeling this way, so hypersensitive to the atmosphere around this election that it like having my senses assaulted and its hard not to take it personally when close friends do tell me theyr'e going to vote for Bush. All I can say is "Lord, they know not what they do." Ha!...
