Lots of inspiration in this blog post from BookBaby:

I am an independent writer.

This year I will:

* embrace my limitations, since they make me unique.

* be brave enough to show my work to others.

* write something every single day — even if it’s only a single word.

* create my own definition for “success.”

* write as if no one else will ever read it.

* take risks in my writing that make me uncomfortable.

* be patient and not rush to finish something that isn’t ready.

* not endlessly revise, but revise towards an ending.

* solicit feedback and actually listen to people’s criticism.

* submit my work for publication, knowing the odds are against me.

* do one thing every day to market myself.

* celebrate the small victories.

Not your typical place to submit, I’ll admit, but this is a great place for those short prose bits. Here’s info from their newsletter:

Papirmasse is a subscription that delivers an art print to your mailbox every month. For each issue we choose a new artist to showcase and ask them to design a print for us.  On the backside of Papirmasse we publish short stories, essays, graphic novel excerpts, and poems. We then mail these prints to subscribers for the ridiculously low price of $5.00 a month.  What can we say?  We’re waging a war against blank walls.

Literary Magazine

Prairie Wolf Press. The editor says:
Place and description are important to me.  I want to see, hear, and experience a story while reading.  I respond to writing that feels alive, where the writer has tapped into creative energy, and developed real characters, a vivid sense of place, and unique, lively language.
