Good news in this dry spell - I've had three poems accepted by Edinburgh Review...and they pay!!! My first paid acceptance, I'm very excited!
Six weeks until the baby's here and I've started reading poetry again after literally going off it over the last few months. Started a poem last night about slugs of all things, scrapped most of what I wrote but there's the odd line worth keeping that I'm sure will spur me into more writing - it's good just to be writing again, even if it is mostly mince, feeling rather rusty but you have to start somewhere!

Mince is the basic ingredient for many exotic dishes!!
Meant to say congrats as well.
well done Marion, (I wonder if Sorley's fascination with slugs inspired you? :) ). Good work!
Brilliant, brilliant.

aye, none more exotic than mince and tatties lol. thanks honest man!
hi sheetal, thankyou. no, more to do with the invasion of slugs coming in our back door (but I've solved the problem)!
hi rachel, thankyou, it's really made my day :)
That is Excellent
Well done you, that's great news. And what a great incentive to unrust (derust?).
splendid news. well done. which poems?
thanks guys :)
hi swiss - Black Tulips, Ultrasound and Sargassum Lullaby, he also said he'd take more if he's got space!
Well that's well timed. You'll be looking for a wee bit extra in about, well, six weeks.
they accepted the poems for their dec/jan issue so it's well timed for Christmas!
i am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!
thankyou, roxana :)
Congrats! They pay, eh? "Edinburgh Review". I'll just go and write that down... :)
Very exciting news on both fronts! ~ jb///
hi dominic, thankyou! yes,there's not many places that pay is there?!

Excellent Sorlil, and you've got poems in the new Poetry Scotland too! It's all go.
thanks colin, yes I'm very pleased to see my poems in PS, and yours too!
Congratulations! I'll look forward to reading them.
'poetry cheque': sounds like an oxymoron, eh? Or maybe it just sounds good. Enjoy!
thanks ross, I submitted to them after talking to you about it at StAnza! yes, money for poetry, imagine that!! and a year's free subscription - it's a pretty good deal isn't it?!
