It's gratifying. I learned so much researching and writing that piece. It was a real education. Had so much help from friends and editors who looked at drafts and gave me notes. Can't tell you how encouraging that was. I know you don't have any control over how a piece turns out--you can pour yourself into it and it could turn out to be a dud--but I was pleased with the result. Mostly, I could control the effort and I'm proud of all the time I spent on it. It was worth it. The goal with this kind of story is for it to be considered for BASW. But you never know how it'll be received. The fact that it made the book, well, it's just cool as shit. Book is out in early October: http://amzn.to/NZQglT Thanks guys. It’s gratifying.
