Thanks Gud. My feedback at the moment is that I have taken a wrong turn, so advice on restructuring would be very welcome.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Always Anti-fascist!
Feeling kind of lame right now. Because I'm in Deb's anthology(Not the lame part), but almost everyone in there is some kind of prize-winning author(and probably also, you know, toured with the Stones while rescuing baby rabbits.) And then there's me, Gimparella. Sitting there all "I just got published cause my stepmom bought me Playboy so I might become a worthy fetish object."(this is actually my most recent clip.) Lame, in every sense of the word.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Babe, I would instead feel like a fucking rock star! "Look who I'm in an anthology with!"
That's fucking AWESOME!

Because books.
Do you think Deb published you out of pity? Because that doesn't sound like Deb to me. And no matter what led to the essay, you got a good piece of writing out of it.
I have to say, this industry is only going to be tougher if you don't try to put a positive spin on things once in a while.

Definitely this! You should be proud.

I know Deb wouldn't do that.(she also wouldn't understand this particular discomfort...if she thought she didn't belong somewhere, it's because the place isn't happening enough.) And, yes, I published that because it's a "It's funny *now*" Just having a minor "One of these things is not like the others..." moment, even though I think the story stacks up fine...I don't believe that you could pick out my story as the rookie story, or anything. Which I'm proud about.

I got my revision notes back from my agent as well as one of her readers. Plenty of work to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sox, that's so cool! I love your questions. I'm almost lost in how cool they are, about food and books. Well done!
