Always Anti-fascist!

I got excellent, effusive feedback on the tattoo piece. It is still not a publication, yet. And even so, no $.But the editor of Mouth wants to work with me again...I'm gonna call her tomorrow...she's in KS, and wants to talk with me over the phone...which feels like "How quaint!" already cause mostly I do that stuff by e-mail. Can't tell you the last time I had a phone call of any extended length... I did understand about Jane Austen Midlist complaining about "Could somebody just say 'yes" already?!" Because I sort of feel that way now, even though I know there are things that aren't right about the piece. Like that stupid tense thing which is my single biggest writing problem, and has been since whenever people learn verbs have tenses. And she took the time, which is extremely cool. But part of me wishes she could've just said "Great. Cool. We'll run it in September." Especially since no money is changing hands(Is that crass? Cause it feels crass) And this is an award-winning magazine...I wouldn't want them not to edit me.But I'd rather hear yes than "No, but..."

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

ERIKA!

Oh man, good stuff.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Erika, that's EXCELLENT!!!

Yeah...could be very exciting. It is a publication that I have great respect for so I am very proud. People have heard of it. These editors are teases though. I feel like they rub up against me then say they don't want to mess up the friendship. But she said "You are where I hope crip conversation can go." and made the unusual editorial request for more profanity.(They have a lot of 'tude over at mouthmag.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

erika, that's excellent! That piece is just beautiful. And powerful. It deserves as wide a readership as possible.

This sounds very promising. Your prespective on disability needs to be out there.

Because books.

erika, that's wonderful! But I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what Mouth is. I have to go find out.

One thing about phone calls -- it does save some back and forth time. But yeah, a bit quaint these days.
