serendipity
Yesterday I wrote 362 words about serendipity, partially as an exercise and partially as a (late) submission toThe Urbanite, a magazine here in Baltimore that I really like, both as a reader and writer. They have a reader-submissions section every issue, under 400 words on a particular theme for each issues, and this time was “serendipity.” One previous theme was “duplicity,” and I believe the next one is “origins.” It’s an interesting exercise to try for me because it requires such tight focus, which is a constant project for me, and because such conceptual themes can evoke such a wide range of responses. It’s always the first section I turn to, and I’ve set myself a writing goal now that I’ll get an entry in there, so I’m going to submit every month, no matter what. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!

Update: it was just accepted! I think I will keep submitting though, just as an ongoing exercise for myself.
