Sometimes I wonder if, if I send things in way early, the editor(s) think(s) that I didn't polish my poems enough, that I gave up a early and should have continued revising till the final hour. <BR/><BR/>I like when mags encourage to send early, before all the space is used up (thanks, dear BOR editor).<BR/><BR/>Does it matter if it's early or right on time? Does it influence whether something will be published? Dear God, I hope not.<BR/><BR/>I agree w Anne: my submission might get magically better, or better yet, I might make it better w hard work.Martha Silanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486148374821966457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13502106.post-45000961344771574962008-07-02T16:24:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:24:00.000-04:00Really?

That y'all so nicely accepted! Whee! Thank you! It still makes me smile, 2 weeks later!), but I hate excel.<BR/><BR/>For my PhD applications, I made my own little tables in MS Word. Hackneyed, when I have MS Excel to use, but editing in Excel is a bitch. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on the prog dir stuff. I bow at your feet. If I ever get that first book published and then finish my PhD I will be salivating at jobs like yours.Stephanie Kartalopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204806501079676579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13502106.post-43064915953691903602008-07-01T13:56:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:56:00.000-04:00Either 22 or 5.

I just can't do it. Not only might it get better all on its own, but I might actually find time to make it better in the last seconds.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie (too many years working for newspapers) so it makes sense that I have to be in a blind panic to get anything done.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163920808413285914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13502106.post-85255488811280444592008-07-01T10:21:00.000-04:002008-07-01T10:21:00.000-04:00Of course I wait until the last minute.
