Its time to play Broaden Amy's Horizons.

I am now taking recommendations for songs to download (don't tell me to buy any CDs, I am a pauper), movies to watch and books to read. Triple word score for anyone who would like to actually loan me said movies/books. Don't tell me what you think I would like, tell me what you like that I should check out.

Sanx.

Query

I want to start sending in some poetry and short fiction to magazines and stuff to get published. I have some addresses of a few magazines such as The New Yorker, but that's kinda high-falutin' stuff and I may not be good enough yet for that kind of stuff. My questions are:

1)Where are good places to send in work? I don't want to deal with 'zines or underground or anything like that- I don't think I have enough teen angst left for that.

2)Isn't there a protocol to follow when sending work in? I vaguely remember learning about cover letters from high school creative writing class, but I don't know if they're always necessary, or how to write one, or anything like that.

3)Is it done to send in more than one piece of work at a time? Should I send several things to see if anyone likes them, or should I send one poem/short story at a time?

4)Uh........ I feel like I should be asking more questions, but I can't think of what......

Anyone have a recording of Schumann's third symphony they'd like to either copy for me or let me borrow?




No, really. Good night.

Okay. So. pheret1 already makes fun of me when I get excited about gas prices dropping. But I'm not going to let that thwart my compulsion to come on LiveJournal and wax rhapsodic about shopping at Aldi.

I got enough food for at least a weeks worth of lunches and dinners, plus some snacks and a treat for $25. I'm never shopping elsewhere again. I'm not sure if it was the 33-cent deli meat, or the 89-cent frozen dinners, but frankly, I'm hooked.
