Yeah? Not too freaky? Maybe not for BUST...
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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

Up with the sun
The message is so good that I don't think it'll be seen as too freaky by anything punkier than Cosmo -- and I think they ran an article on "10 Body Piercings Your Man Will Love" last summer ;-).
Good luck.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Totally submit that to BUST.
It kicks of the ass.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Delurking for half a minute to say, erika, submit it. It's bone deep and nerve bare and brave.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Chiming in with the "submit, submit, submit" chant.

Because books.
erika -- I love this piece. I love the way you're finally staking a claim on your body here. Lots of sharp observations and contrasts, beautifully honest. The "my internal scars are still ugly" (not a precise quote, I bet) was a big "Yes!" moment. So here I am with another "Submit it!" for you.

I was thinking I would, but I know I've sent stuff out too fast before, before it was ready, and I wanted to be sure. And maybe the Rag(as in the Disability Rag) But it might be novel, being read by people with jobs. Maybe some they're looking to fill, too...go team Crossover Appeal. I'm looking at being Tattoo Gal *and* Dumpster Sex Gal. Only in America.Sniff.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
erika, that's fucking BEAUTIFUL. You must submit it somewhere. BUST seems ideal.
t edit I'm assuming you know about Mouth Magazine.
