Ugh, hi writers.
Today I don't wanna write at all. You guys have a day like that sometimes? I sure do. I am playing the waiting game, that is waiting for responses from editors, results of entered writing contests, even a all-bills paid writing residency somewhere in NM. One thing us writers gotta learn is patience, because all writers do a lot of waiting. That's just a part of the game.

For those of you that are waiting, check out my latest poem in the meantime and feel cultural. My new poem "Train of Culture" is on http://www.shebytches.com/carolineblahablackfeb1306.html.

Until next time, ya'll!

Whoo hoo! This is a pic of me and my best friend Jagi! Even though it has nothing to do with writing, I just had to post our gorgeous selves here.

Uhg, hello writers!
Seems like I haven't been on this blog since Xmas since that vacation in the Caribbean. Well, to tell you the truth, I have been extremely busy. Those of you who are still reading my posts, I thank you for sticking around.

So what's new? Well, I got a few more things published, due to my hard work in the winter months. My recent poetry book review can be found in the latest issue of Sage Woman magazine, in stores now. Look me up in the Leaves of Sage section, under Caroline Blaha-Black, for those that don't know my name.

My young adult novel about the female pirate is coming along slowly. I purchased a whole bunch of books from Writer's Digest Book Club to help me further with plot and dialogue. It has been fun! By the way, Pirates of the Caribbean II come out in June, I believe. Can't wait. Did you know that Cpt. Barbosa didn't really die in the Black Pearl? If you don't beleive me, watch the movie again, past the credits and you'll see it.

Cool magazine I want to mention for those of you who are targeting the female/feminist/women power market: Bust magazine (www.bust.com) is chock-full of fantastic DIY articles, interviews with successful women, feminist book reviews, actress' profiles, etc. Check out their writers' guidelines because yes, they accept submissions at this time. Read the article in their latest issue about men who knit. Fabulous!

Until next time,
Caroline
