It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

Deb, I got with [Minneapolis author]. She got me a thing at a bookstore she has a relationship with. That is probably good, right up to the point where I tank the talk.

Gus, the thing to remember about that kind of public appearance is that the audience has neither animus nor bloodlust. They're rooting for you all the way - if your surname was Bush or Rove, that might be a different deal, but they want to see you do well.
It's a good starting point, that realisation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Some writing ~ma requested. I'm doing the rough draft for my first college paper in, oh....32 years. I am 340 words into 1400. I know, easy peasy considering the amount of words most of you write on a daily basis, but I haven't written like this ever.
So, ~ma, please??

What's the topic, Aims? Is input needed, or are you zooming along?

move out and draw fire
deb, that piece for Seal was tremendous. I was going to send you comments by email, but I have none beyond it was tremendous.
It nudged my thinking also, about some stuff in my own past, so thank you.
