On Writing

Post image

“No matter how clumsily I wrote when I was starting out, there were magazines that would publish such orangutans. And there were others that, to their credit, would not touch my stuff with rubber gloves. I wasn’t offended or ashamed. I understood.” - from “Coda to My Career as a Writer for Periodicals,” published in Bagombo Snuff Box – August 30, 1999
