I'm starting to get to be a rejection-junkie.
Okay, so by that I mean "sending-out-poems" junkie, but that's not snappy, and a "submission junkie" sounds all sorts of wrong.
I'm sure a hit of coffee beforehand doesn't help minimize the high, either, but I think there's real fun in picking out the next magazine to inflict my poetry on, especially since I have no investment in seeing it accepted, really.
It's like picking a college, only short-term and cheaper!
Wait. None of you were college-admission-materials junkies, were you? No, that was just me...
PS: Go Read Something Good. Like The King of Attolia.

No, of course not, I've never done anything like that.
