Poetry Publications:
“Noctiluca” and “Walking the Laguna”
I’m honored to usher in December with the publication of the
poem, “Noctiluca,” in which the ocean, Midwest, and the dreamfield converge.
“Noctiluca” is live today at Jacar’s Press online magazine, One. I think you’ll enjoy the cover art,
“Dirty Laundry,” by Katie O’Hagan and the rest of the poems in Issue 7 selected
by Richard Krawiec and his team of editors. The issue has been carefully put in order and is meant to be read in sequence...let me know what you think.
Also forthcoming in the spring: “Walking the Laguna, for
Reginald Shepherd,” online at TAB: The
Journal of Poetry and Poetics.” TAB also publishes recordings of the poems
in each issue, so I’m at work on an MP3 of “Walking the Laguna.” I will post a link here when the issue goes live in the spring.
Submission Workshop:
Salvage Your December

Most writers I know are
pretty grumpy around holiday time—don’t get me wrong—we love our friends and
our families. We just also really love to write. Come join me on Sunday,
December 20 to brainstorm potential submisison targets for the New Year for
your work; that way you can relax for the rest of holiday season knowing you
have a map for January 1, 2016. You’ll need to bring a list of your writing
inventory (list of work either complete and ready to send out or nearly ready
to send out). We will meet and share submission targets. I will bring my own
list and ask each of you to bring your list. We will also reserve time to
free-write or revise one piece of writing during our workshop. While poetry and
blogging are my specialties, I will bring lists for other genres as well.
This is an in person
workshop offered at San Diego Writers, Ink from 10 a.m -1p.m Sunday December
20, 2015 at Inspirations Gallery at NTC, Liberty Station.
Cost is $35 for members or
$40 for nonmembers; join a great group of students already signed up and working
on their inventory lists. To register, visit Salvage your December with Tania Pryputniewicz.
*I will be also bring
example magazines to our workshop; please feel free to bring in your own stash
of physical publications or magazines that have showcased or published your
work or bring in your favorite potential target magazines or publications.

| Catalyst Door Quest 2015 |
Business Artistry: Quest
2016 Kicks off December 1st
Tomorrow I’ll be joining Tracking Wonder on Quest 2016. Here is a "Catalyst Door" I drew last year on Quest 2015. I'm once again opening my heart to visioning a prosperous and creative year with a group of like-minded creatives.
Quest 2016 promises to be another dynamic business artistry adventure under the guidance
of Jeffrey Davis and his team at Tracking Wonder. You can view the short video
testimonials by my fellow questers and I about our highlights from last year’s Quest
on a range of topics from Authenticity, Connection, and Saying Yes to Expanding
Medicine, Bravery and Permission Slips here: Tracking Wonder Quest 2016. In my video you'll hear a bit about my Tarot
Writing project that I developed on Quest last year.
There’s still time to sign up and join us if you wish; we’ll
be responding to prompts and questions posed by a series of visionaries Jeffrey
has assembled for us (Chris Brogan, Jonathan Fields, Charlie Gilkey, Seth
Godin, Todd Henry, Sally Hogshead, John Jantsch, Scott Barry Kaufman, Jen
Louden, and Susan Piver so far). I have met, and continue to meet, an amazing group of artists from all walks of life through Tracking Wonder. We'll be conversing throughout this adventure on Twitter using the hashtag #Quest 2016 and I'll be blogging on my main website in response to the prompts (www.taniapryputniewicz.com).
