Today I received my copy of What We’ve Believed. It is the San Francisco Writers Foundation 2023 Anthology, containing an excerpt of my work in progress, “The Black Box of Memory”. I did not hesitate to brandish the book about at work, showing it to my students and co-workers, and even making a few copies to decorate the lunch nook.
It brings the realness and nearness of the conference to me. I feel, beyond the familiar yet perpetually alluring thrill of publication, pressure and responsibility to share my work with the world. Why? What is my motivation for this project? That is a deeper reflection for another time.
What matters now is that I’ve achieved my latest publishing credit, and it is a warm fuzzy feeling. Encouraged, emboldened, I will carry on into this project.
As for you: Get yourself a copy of What We’ve Believed and curl up with a good book!
Thank you for reading. Reading Rules!
