Reading/Writing Journal

Misplaced that sports book that was going to take the place of Ashes of Roses.  But it's okay, because my dad bought me a copy of The Green Mile from HPB clearance for my birthday.  I like books with chapter breaks.  My copy of Anna Karenina continues to fall apart and Mill on the Floss has been stashed in my car for a week.  Still four books behind on my goodreads challenge.\

Had an experience on Saturday that is getting included in my NaNo.  Went to a friend's wedding reception, where I danced with an attractive man to I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).  And he twirled me!  It was fabulous, and I keep listening to the song so I can keep the memory fresh enough to fictionalize come November.  Will probably write a poem about it this week to also assist.  Possibly to also submit for money.

The rest of this post is a list of places that pay for submissions so that I can check them out later this week to see if I have or can have anything that would be a good fit for them.  Source: writersincharge.com/literature-mags-that-pay-writers
