Thank you for following me. This is inspiring. I'm absolutely lame in this department. Not a fan of Bukowski's work but loved the 2003 movie, Born Into This. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu62kQha8hs
I have kept it in my mind, for 21 years, that he spent the same amount of time writing as he spent submitting his writing for publication. I too have been writing forever. I have often bought the big book of publications to submit to, but never stretched the muscle to actually submit anything. Your effort is inspiring and info like Chill Subs shows me a new campaign must begin. Thank you.
I must confess, I'm not very familiar with Bukowski's writing. Once of the members of my monthly poetry group used to know him. I'm really far more into the confessional poets like Plath and Sexton, and many of our contemporary poets. If you've never read Diane Seuss, get a copy of her latest book, "Modern Poetry." It will blow your doors off!
Thanks for the suggestion. I wrote poetry in high school and college but it hasn't continued. I also am not that aware of Bukowski's details other than he was a womanizer and a brutal drunk. Gee, why would I want to support that? I do know about Plath and a tiny bit about Sexton. I've always been more interested in a writer's bio than their actual work. Kinda crazy. What makes people tick is more important to me than what they express. I know this is backwards, but I've over 50 years of being built this way.
I've been pushing for at least ten per month, but I've gone over that almost every month this year. If you don't follow Chill Subs, you should. They list a lot of places to submit every week.

Well, that's inspiring!! I'm barely managing to submit one thing a month, but that's been my goal this year.

Thank you! I didn't know about Chill Subs. Looks good!
