The poems are getting old. I've read them at readings with no book to show, and I've moved on and finished the fever book now too.<br />Also, the second manuscript will work as two chaps b/c of the types of poems in there and I can already see the division.<br />Who knows if it is the right decision, but I'm tired of languishing.<br /><br />Good luck to you with DGP. Love their work!<br /><br />Sandy Longhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735445958970512617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-27716718097551285392013-05-13T09:43:57.242-05:002013-05-13T09:43:57.242-05:00Congrats on the draft!

It also was pretty easy to frame a new story arc with these poems, so I was pretty excited to put it together. I've since sent it on to only dancing girl press (they don't accept SS) since cover art was really important to me and they have put out some great books.<br /><br />I'm also still sending my manuscript out, but not with the same fervor, I guess. <br /><br />Good luck! I'll be interested to hear how it turns out.
