"and see what good news may have appeared, addressed to me, asking for more."--Oh, I feel you, Tresta!
But you're right: We do learn through rejections. I had one recently that, on rereading it, I'm so glad it didn't get published. It needs more time to grow.
Oh I LOVE this, all of it. "Let It Fly" is the most apt name one could name such a resource.
I remember reading your essay at Fathom, "Did My Dad Come To See the Kindness of God?" which then introduced me to you and your writing.
Funny enough, I just had a poem accepted this week for publication, and a forthcoming book review that should be published any time now. These are things I do not do, but want to, so am testing the waters of "Letting It Fly". I need the accountability and set of eyes that proper publications provide... left to myself on Substack I would wild out or really not do anything. :')
"Wild out" doesn't sound too bad! Haley-gone-rogue?
Congratulations on letting it fly and finding more space for your words! You have a very fine brain and generous heart, and I hope more people get access to them ; )
Oh I love love love this! I need a way to keep track and keep sending. I love what you said about editors who reply with helpful feedback. I agree, it’s so good and kind to receive that kind of feedback.

It really is a gift to have other eyes on our work. Thankful for yours ; )
Saw this yesterday from Callie and ordered!! Excited for the resource!
Yay! I hope it's helpful for you Kimberly.
