erika, that is so excellent! My mom and 2 aunts and 1 cousin are horsewomen -- I'll have to hook them up with the site.

It *should* be! That's a BIG reason for woo-hoo, in my opinion!

Yeah! But, see, last time, I made a big deal, and then the magazine was like "It's not you, it's me," and no clip. So I'm holding back, just a little.

Rock on, Erika!
While I'm here, I'll ask.
I have this thing I've been working on for the past six months or so. It's not a story, but it's not non-fiction, either. It's a fictional account of what I've been calling a "platonic climb" on a cliff in upstate New York. Sort of "this is what it's like to do this and this is what it feels/sounds/smells/tastes like, on an October Day on a multi-pitch route in the Gunks west of New Paltz." I've made up the climb and the characters but not the emotions or the experiences.
If that makes any sense.
Oh, and it's in 2nd person, dunno why.
I'm not quite done, but I'm trying to figure out what to do with it when it is. Any suggestions?

Shop it around to climbing/outdoor magazines. Or Web sites. t edit Or possibly The Sun, if it would fit one of their reader submission topics.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Consuela, how long? Are we talking about a novel-length work here?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
The piece I've read that description reminds me of is actually a piece on rowing that I read in my alumni magazine, FWIW.
