The hard part is not the constant rejection of strong work because of matters of taste, fit, etc. The hard part is figuring out which journals are open for what and balancing that with the actual writing, no? "Submission Strategy" is a full time job.

a pretty famous writer just shared this on substack. it's good advice, I think: "As a mentor once advised me: summon no masters, no geniuses into your writing space — only that earnest youthful art lover who led you here."

poetryfoundation.org/poems/147907/l… I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek— And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
