Thanks for the nice feedback, Teresa. Writing can be so solitary–I love this segment because it gives me a glimpse into the rituals (reading, writing, revising) of other writers, and makes me feel part of some larger network.

Jennifer, isn’t Emily great? Everyone’s heard of Anne, but not Emily.

I really enjoyed hearing how Miciah picks the journals where she sends her work, about her experience editing a literary journal, and about her reading rituals (both her own and her shared experience with her daughter).

I was feeling frustrated at how many drafts it takes me to “finish” a story. It encouraged me to learn Miciah is also a thorough reviser (40 to 50 drafts!).

I slowly go through them, engrossed in the daily details of other writers. Thank you!

I too have a deep connection with Emily.

Hi Robin! Thanks for reading. It’s totally true: I’m always totally optimistic about the slush pile. I’ve discovered amazing things in there!

I enjoyed the guest post by Miciah and the honest view of the slush pile. Thanks for advice & encouragement!

PS: I like to write while eating. Sometimes I switch the pen in hand with the fork, sometimes not.
