I was looking through the 2011 web statistics the other day and thought back on the interesting and exciting year we had. We relaunched in January and started getting daily submissions almost immediately. We have, with help from sites like Duotrope, Poets&Writers, and Newpages, had far more visitors than I would’ve expected at this point, but I’m not going to question it.

It’s about time. Without further ado, I present the newest issue of Thoughtsmith, issue 2.3! We’ve narrowed down hundreds of submissions into ten pieces we know you’ll enjoy.

We had hoped to get the issue up by today, but because of excessive holiday festivities, we won’t have it up until Monday evening. Thank you all for submitting to Thoughtsmith, and keep the submissions coming! (Please note: we only looked at submissions that came in up until early November. If you didn’t receive a response, your piece will be considered along with the next reading period.)

Sorry about that! Truth is, we’ve all been incredibly busy, but worry not; Thoughtsmith isn’t in any sort of trouble. In fact, I’ve been working on a complete overhaul of the website that is on track for release around the beginning of 2012, if not a bit sooner. We’re just about finished with tabulating votes on the submissions received for the fall issue, and we’re going to have it up as soon™ as possible. That said, there are a few changes that we’re going to be enacting shortly, and I’ll take this time to go over them.
