Babe, I would instead feel like a fucking rock star! "Look who I'm in an anthology with!"
That's fucking AWESOME!
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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!

not your mom's socks.
oh thanks! Steven's answers are great.
A heads up - I have a roundtable coming out in Strange Horizons in a couple weeks with four writers - Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, Nalo Hopkinson, and Gregory Frost - that's all about food and fiction. Just in time for Thanksgiving. Bring your antacids.
