Looking back, it feels like we just finished the last one, and then like it is the first time. I still get butterflies thinking about putting my words out there. Such a need for feedback and camaraderie still amazes me after all these years. Twelve hours feels like such a hurdle, I don’t know how you full-marathoners do it! Maybe this year I’ll submit to the anthology instead of hiding. Wishing you all poetic dreams and inspiration! See you in the morning!
