Musings on Writing

I've published* one measly book of poetry thus far in my life; completed four research endeavors (two in Psychology as of now, two in English as of now); am working on three more research endeavors (two in psychology, one in English), as well as another volume of poetry and perchance a book of short stories; and am currently quite happy with everything as written in life.

Where is this going, you folks ask. Well I will tell you. I will.

Publishers. It's a vague kind of word, not in the sense that a person does not know what a publisher is or what one does, but rather that one seeking publishing does not concisely know just how to contact them or break into the realm of publishing. Of course, there are the giants of publishing: Penguin, Norton, etc., but what of smaller presses which do not mind new works by fledgling authors? That's the sort of influence I'm working on. I want to find my place in an editor's heart, be granted some kind of tenure with a publisher, and have contracts to write something for some kind of monetary reward. Yes, that would be lovely.

Maybe I'll pair some poetry with my short stories and start shopping it around to publishers to garner some interest. I'd really like to be published. That's a feat in and of itself.
