Thanks! It’s a great site for writers, but only for fiction and poetry. They’re always looking for submissions. All you have to do is join the site, in case you ever want to submit your poems. 😃

Thanks for your encouraging words. I just read my poetry at a Take Back the Night event. The coordinator for a “Concert of Hope” event for violence against women awareness asked me to be a featured speaker. It’s a little scary. I’ll be up on stage with a microphone. She said they get a huge turnout (this is its fourth year). Oh well, this seems to be my journey. If I can help one person it will be worth my putting myself out there. 🙂 Hope all is well.
