The Quest For Publication

So now I have a site full of poems, and a computer even more full of poems, but its finally come time to try and share my works in print. Anyone can write online, but when it comes to being printed in a magazine, or a book, its a bit more difficult. I haven't even attempted to get published yet- out of fear of failure or being considered unremarkable. Still I'm excited to try to bring a little bit of legitimacy to my name, and perhaps a buck or two if my work merrits it. Now I need only to decide where to send my work, which is almost as hard as writing it all in the first place. Just as whomever publishes me must pick me out of a crowd, so must I pick them out of a crowd. I suppose its kind of like dating, one must find someone attractive who is also attracted to you. Hopefully publishing will go better than my dating life though.
