[stylist] A first for mew: Your poem in the NFSPS Encore anthology

Sun Sep 18 19:28:45 UTC 2016

Jackie,

I've not been quite as active myself. I try to chime in from time-to-time though.

I'm in the middle of my second semester of grad school. I will graduate in January of 2018.

I'm also expecting my second child. I'm 17 weeks along now. The baby is due in February, smile.

Lots to keep me busy.

Bridgit

Bridgit,
Thank you so much. Though I have not been active for some time, this poem was written about the blind, and after their publication is out at their next meeting, I will share it.
With my many submissions, I have never let the sponsors know I am blind. I know this has been a constant question with our list members. I have often wanted to scream it from my computer chair, but have resisted it so far.
With submissions at a halt for several months, perhaps I can again pay attention to the work submitted on this site. 
I am starting with a small group of writers who deal in other genres. I hope that may increase my efficacy in commenting on selections other than poetry.
You have been active. Are you near to completing your MFA? So exciting.
You still give of your time so effectively.

I hope this goes through. I skipped a few people I would like to know. Short term memory going!
