Look, I was wrong. It turns out the last day of 2022 had an acceptance waiting up its sleeve. The poem will be published towards the end of January 2023. Of course, I have another day in 2022 to look forward to as my current pending submissions are in another hemisphere. Anything can happen *looks at clock* in my best writing year so far.

I don’t do resolutions but in 2023 I will continue to do as I have done: write, edit, rewrite, send writing out, and hopefully get some more works published. It’s gonna be, relatively speaking, wild.

The actual final writing update of 2022.
