yeah… about that.

Less than an hour after posting that blog, I checked the website for my favored literary magazine, just to see if the printed info I had was outdated… Well, it was, because that magazine has since closed shop, however temporarily.

And I found another magazine, one that published a classmate of mine. Other writers sounded familiar—and again, I love the tone, I love the layout, I love the philosophy. The story said it’s okay—in fact, it’s starting to get excited.
