in case you just can’t get enough of me, check out the tiny little ditty, erosion, i wrote after i had henry. it’s just been published by literarymama: a gem of an online literary journal full of writing that bypasses shmultz and makes mothers everywhere look talented, competent, and articulate.

i submitted my piece erosion (inspired by a blog post a few months ago, actually) to brevity magazine. i’ve worshipped brevity ever since they came online. everything so short, so pithy, so perfect. it’s been my tiny little pocket dream for them to snatch up something of mine.

well, it’s a no go. here’s my very own email from dinty w. moore …

Ms. Curtis,

This one came close, but in the end we have decided to pass on it. We are shocked (though pleased, as well) by the number and quality of submissions we are receiving these days, and the calls are becoming more, and more difficult.

Please keep us on your list to submit again,

Dinty W. Moore
