Despite all my brooding over recent bad news, I have been giddy and excited all week (another reason why not much has been posted here - a trend that soon will change. I promise.)
One of my essays, State Lines, has been accepted for publication in Quarter After Eight. It will appear in Volume 11, Spring 2005. I signed the contract this week. Hugs and smooches to Kelley for encouraging me to submit. (Really, Kelley. I mean that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A thousand times, thank you.)
State Lines is part of my unpublished book, Last Seen.
I am still deep into research for an essay I was invited to contribute to another publication (hush hush for the moment - an announcement will be posted as soon as possible.)
This has been a good writing year so far. One publication, one invitation, and a freelance ghostwriting gig that literally saved my sanity. My electronic magazine, Invisible Insurrection, is coming together beautifully. Time to pinch myself? Not quite yet.

Your enthusiasm is uplifting. Your building, however, is not.
It's good to see you are swimming upstream, against the general mood of the current.
