Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I read it the same way Betsy did, FWIW. I think I'd be simultaneously pleased and worried. (I know, I know. I'm a big help.)

What I decided to do about the resume service issue is present my concerns to the career counselor as follows: "I'd like to do this, and I think it'd be a great way to bring in extra income. However, my novel always comes first. I'm worried that a resume service, as I've seen them marketed, wouldn't balance well with that goal. Is there a way for me to control the pace of growth and my workflow? If not, we need to come up with something else."

Because what I'd really like is to do about ten resumes per month. That would be enough to bring in some extra income. And I want to have some control over my deadlines--even if it's, "The first I can get this to you is four days from now. If you need it sooner, I can refer you to some services with a larger staff." Then if that went well, I could start thinking about increasing my marketing push enough to be able to quit my day job.

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

That's very good thinking, and allows you to control the flow.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

As promised, here's my reply to Newsweek's "Poetry is Dead" essay:

Once Again, Poetry Is Dead? It must be true, because Newsweek said it

Victor, that's a kickass article! So, some ghostwriter can't name Maya Angelou? Was he alive in 1992? Because I seem to recall she wrote and read a poem at Clinton's first inaugural....

Rock ON, Victor. Great response. Did you send a copy of that to Newsweek?

Thanks. No, I haven't yet--although with the combination of my propensity for pissing people off and having friends at most large periodicals (Including Newsweek), I often hear reactions pretty quick. Glad people liked.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yay, Victor. Also, Rita Dove is a poet, who 1. Has been on TV. 2. Is alive.(And I must admit I don't keep up with poetry either, but intend to buy 100 poets against the war...to start with.)

100 Poets Against the War is awesome. Also, has a poem by my dear friend and favorite poet Tony Brown in it.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.

I love Rita Brown's stuff.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I love Rita Brown beyond my capacity to tell it.
