I'm sad. A magazine that was going to print my work has gone on hiatus. Which is sad for a lot of people, not just me. But part of me feels like "Of course they are. Anyone interested in my work would." It has happened a lot. Maybe it is the dark cloud I bring with me wherever I go.(I know...it's really that the economy sucks. Why couldn't I have a useful talent, with numbers in it?
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

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

If it's any concellation, I spent a good two years as the king of shutting down literary journals. Seemed everywhere I got accepted eithr shut down or went on hiatus. An anthology project I was working on? Killed three publishers. I felt like a literary grim reaper.

Typhoid Mary here. Want a kiss? That was the one break I got all last year, too.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Welcome to the wonderful world of "this complete lack of funding, not to mention disposable income, brought to you the Bush Economic Recovery Plan".

But I need a clip. Not another reason to hate Bush. Books, reasons to hate Bush, and pet hair are the most plentiful things in this house.

erika, the stuff the magazine had of yours - fiction or reportage?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I want this for my tag, erika. Badly. Please?

One of those personal essay things. Which is to say, somewhere in the middle.Beverly, yes, of course. Anyone can tag me, anytime. And somebody who compliments my Kay can do it twice. Like voting in Chicago.

If you sold it once, you can sell it again.

I suppose. If I let go of the idea that it was a fluke, and stuff. But it's kind of specific. But there are a few other angles I could write it from, I guess, if I needed to.
