She Looks Brave

I am bummed out. I found out that some poems I submitted, were rejected by an established literary journal. For some reason, I had gotten my hopes up way too high about this particular submission. I had thought my work was a good fit with their editorial decisions. Apparently I was wrong. I actually cried when I read the news. Then I stopped crying. I remade my Submission Tracker Spreadsheet and in the next couple of days I will send some more poems out into the world.
My poems are braver and spunkier than I am. So they are insisting on being mailed off to as many reputable journals as I can rustle up addresses for! Wish me luck....
