I've Been Writing for Lit Mags for Nearly A Year: Here's What I've Learned
The online literary scene is a storm of chaos that would make Dionysus weep with glee. Carnage churns the landscape, equal parts ink-soaked soil and vicious jungles. The torn bodies of old works, rejected works, and lost publications litter the lands, and your hopes and dreams bid you to step right over them. Sink them further into the muck of "yester-submissions" as you forge on in armor that may be the new shining plates of optimism, or plates scorched from burnout, painted with scenes of battles and cut out passages from a tale ongoing.

Love battle
In the quiet town of Willowbrook, there was a legendary rivalry that had spanned generations.

I missed my own deadline for this edition because I lacked inspiration for a complete theme. Either I had an idea for a theme but not enough poems that fit neatly, or poems that just couldn’t be put into a theme!
Kayleigh Fraser ✨Published 10 months ago in WritersThe 20 Popular Victorian Novels You Need To Read First
Greetings, discerning readers! If one takes a cursory stroll down the labyrinthine corridors of the literary world, there are certain epochs and genres that beckon irresistibly, like sirens singing from across time.

This is not the same brain that read through Gone With the Wind in a week in middle school. It's definitely not the same brain that won Accelerated Reading awards at the end of every year in elementary school. I can barely read exit signs on the highway now.
