I mean, I really respect those people. If there's a homage to somebody, I don't think that is so awful.(My character's fake name is "Marlo Phillips" after all.) What I don't want is people reading along like "Another Grafton wannabe. Boring."
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Wow. March just handed me more good news...
Dear Ms. Taylor:
We would like to use your submission, "Letters from the Past," as a "Snapshots" feature in a future issue of English Journal. More details will follow in the coming weeks, including the official acceptance materials, but I wanted to inform you of this decision now. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Theresa Kay
Thank you SO MUCH. You all helped me so much when I was editing this piece.

I read that yesterday, Susan, but I forgot to say anything. I think 100 pages was when I knew I wasn't going to stop writing it. Because that is a lot of time to throw away.

Yep. This time around, 100 pages before the end of March means that barring some kind of disastrous life disruption, I'll have a rough draft by the end of the year, quite possibly with a month or two to spare.

Yeah, Kristin! I get "English Journal" and will be eagerly looking for your piece, and probably blabbing "Look! I know her! Isn't that cool?!"
