Hey #writingcommunity, a submissions etiquette question: if a journal's guidelines do not specify one way or the other, is it acceptable to make submissions in multiple genres (i.e. one short story and one poem collection)?

Slow morning a few days before we travel back home, writing a few poems. I have been having a hard time working on my #fiction recently. I haven't been able to focus. Doing a few #poems has felt more manageable. ❤️ #poetry

Thrilled to have this short #poem appearing in @ecotonemagazine.bsky.social's beautiful "Moon" issue! This poem is based on a marvelous and small and electric pink #flower, Herb Robert, which starts blooming in late spring in Norway and hangs on and on and on... ecotonemagazine.org/magazine/ ❤️🌖🌺

Summer Light — Oyster River Pages Summer 1995, I quit my job. No prospects, my bit of savings dwindling. Doubt on doubt had worn the contours of the world paper-thin, until bald emptiness stared blank at me from the reflective surface...

Thank you to @oysterriverpages.bsky.social for publishing my flash fiction piece, "Summer Light." The final line of this story came to me on a long walk, funnily enough, during the winter. So grateful it is out there in the world now. ☀️ 🥣 👩‍❤️‍👩 🏳️‍🌈 🏮 🍨 🎨 🌱 ☀️ www.oysterriverpages.com/fiction-72/2...

Happy new year, everyone!

I think you're right... building up a habit like that I expect can get your brain used to switching into focus. Thanks!

Thanks for these ideas--I think the turning off of the WiFi especially is something that will really help me. Happy writing! 😀

I've been having a lot of trouble lately keeping focused. I'm working on resetting my writing habit, daily writing in the morning. Anyone have tips for keeping going? What helps you really focus on your writing and move towards your goals? #writingcommunity #amwriting✍️🤷‍

Yes, that's a good idea. I think I need to be more intentional. For a while I think I was just like, "Oh, you have a newsletter? Sure I'll be on it!" 🤣

Yes, that's right... I get signed up when I submit to a magazine--and of course I'd like to support, but it has quickly become too much.

#WritingCommunity, how do you handle your subscriptions to newsletters/substacks? I've subscribed to so many that there's no way I can reasonably engage with them and I am wading through content that is probably great but I don't have space for. I've started unsubscribing... how do you handle this?

I had two LitMag acceptances yesterday! A flash piece I feel really close to, that I'm so glad has a home, and my first ever acceptance for a poem, in a journal I never expected to be published in. Feeling good, and feeling glad I'm persevering. 📝❤️ #amwriting #writingcommunity
