I sent off a submission today. January 9th 2022. No idea how it'll be received. Unfortunately i've found publications somewhat unwilling to publish what i write because by conventional standards i'm a literary outlaw... or hooligan for lack of a better term. Outlaw sounds too sexy, and it's nothing to do with boobs n' thighs. I make up words, structure sentences like an old man with no care for the rules and leave people feeling somewhat uncomfortable --- i'm too brash, as such i've learned never to get my hopes up. I fear that my only recourse will be to self publish but i don't know if thats for me. I want someone to do the hard stuff so im free to write... but dont we all feel that way? 
Nevertheless this year is off to a productive start thus far. I'll be interested to see how it continues. 

Hows your 2022 looking to date? Be kind to yourself. ?
