I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Just cohesiveness. Does it read without bumps, and does it hold together? The problem is, the editor was fairly unclear about what she wanted this to point to, other than the broad general "psychic experience happening to writers" thing.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
This just in:
Transitions between sections are hard.
That is all.

Don't mind me. I was just writing my column and being whiny because I couldn't get one idea to transition to the next without feeling forced. I finally -- three cigarettes and some storming around the apartment later -- got it figured out.

Oh, non-fiction? Yep, I totally understand the tricky in those transitions. My own usual method of handling is to go write some fiction as a palate-clearer.

Because books.
Deb, essay feedback just sent -- late, as always.

Heh. Amy, got it and backflung. Your question about the hard word limit, the answer is, yep: right around 1500 words. Editor likes it as is, and I'm not heavily invested in this one, since it's really a favour to my friend Victoria Zackheim, who asked on behalf of this editor. Since Victoria got me the Seal Press spot, I owe her. Personally, I think this particular essay could have used another two pages, but hopefully, this will do.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Gus, you are worth your weight in bauxite.
Ouch.
