Success!

Just wanted to say how awesome it was to read all the postings this weekend. You people are damn good writers, so thanks for letting me read your stuff.

Like last time we posted, I took the liberty of making some comments on the pieces. I hope this helps, but let me know if you don't want that. I was hoping to get some discussion going about the pieces we've put up. I know that as I'm trying to keep the writing going post-undergrad workshops, I would really appreciate some feedback. Like, I'm thinking of sending out to a couple of new lit journals, so if you guys wanna share thoughts on what's been posted, it would help me out a ton.

In other news, I am now slightly employed. I'm going to do some very part-time work for the professor I worked for this year. I'll be reading her chapter drafts of her book before she send them to her editor at Yale U and giving her editing/comments. Tom, as the expert, could you tell me if this counts as freelance editing?

And finally, since Allie is bad at introducing herself, I'll introduce her. We lived together for a semester in Bath, England and both did the creative writing tutorial with an Oxford-educated "freelance" professor who put us down all the time and oozed smug from his pores. When she's not applying for law school, trying to eradicate childhood poverty, or teaching with Teach for America in Denver, she enjoys sarcasm and a glass of red wine. And she writes a mean fiction story.
