You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Polter-Cow! The October issue of Asimov's has a familiar name under Coming Soon!

I get my vicarious thrills where I can.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You didn't know you were Coming Soon, P-C?

Always Anti-fascist!

Honestly, I've gotten so many rejections lately, I'm really starting to ponder what a post-writing future would look like(of course, right after I spent money I can't get back on a workshop on Building Better Characters.)

I don't know if I would really stop, but it's getting harder and harder to get the optimism up to face those damn "submission managers" and every time I get back a no, the voice in my head that says "You don't have to do this," gets louder(of course, the world wouldn't blame me if I just sat around looking tragic for the rest of my days, only to pause to blurt out like a six-year-old "my legs don't work." so I don't even know if that's my inner voice or Ableism.) And are there really real-life Sue Hecks out there that read the "kinder, gentler" rejections and think "Woo hoo...they think looking at my work is a privilege!" because it really doesn't help me at all.
