One of the most interesting things about life when something irretrievable happens is that the world does not stop. Everything else continues. One of the things to continue is the blog. So, here’s an attempt to get back to normal. Whatever that means.
I am on the cover of WRITERS DIGEST magazine. I knew they had done the interview, but I didn’t realize my picture was on the cover until Darla brought it to my attention on the web. The magazine is able to be ordered now, and those with a subscription have gotten their copies. It’s the April issue, so it’s either about to be on the shelves, or it currently is on the shelves.
When I was an aspiring writer in my teens, WRITERS DIGEST was one of the places that I learned how to be a professional writer. To be on the cover of the magazine now, would have blown my mind at the age of sixteen. It would have been inconceivable, to quote one of our favorite movies. But apparently, inconceivable really doesn’t mean what I thought it meant, because there I am on the cover. Most of the time stuff like this puzzles me. I never quite know how to feel about it. This one I know how to feel. It’s just plain nifty.
