I was Kate’s editor at @therumpus.net , and speaking to her about her debut was enlightening! Short story authors making the leap to novel writing should seriously engage with her insights.
At least once every few days, I think about what we all lost when Jim Croce died in that plane crash. The man was 30 and had already written more enduring music than many of the greats that came after.
I recently had a piece accepted at a journal that I have been submitting to (and getting rejected from) for 10 years.

This is how I know I will meet all my literary goals. Eventually!
"If writing her has taught me anything, it’s to go toward the parts of a narrative that you want to skirt around and to face head-on the parts of your characters you’d rather not see."
