Today I sold a revised version of my 8,000-word essay, "The First Woman on Mars," to White Fungus, a beautifully-produced English-language Art Journal published in Taiwan. Because of the strong visual-arts orientation of the journal, my essay is likely to be accompanied by several original works of art, photographic and otherwise; I'll be working ( Read more... )

Isn't it? I'm so thrilled! I wonder if this is a sign that I should write more...

Your encouragement blesses me and has definitely contributed positively to the amount of writing I have done in the last couple of years; thank you. I am eager to tackle more writing projects once Little, Big is finally completed.

Congratulations! That sounds magnificent and worthy.

Thank you! Your choice of words are most encouraging. I do think you would like this journal very much. It was Pauline Oliveros who put them onto me, of all people; and then I went out on a limb in offering the essay to them. Imagine! How is it any of us are here? How telling that we are, and none other.

Congratulations, and of course you should write more. The universe has been spelling it out in billboards and neon. :)

Thank you. I've really been blessed by having so many wonderful, talented people encourage me -- this includes everyone who has responded to this post. Reminds me, just now, of the title of my favorite J. G. Ballard novel, The Kindness of Women (which is not a sequel to Empire of the Sun in any structural sense, but an entirely independent novel).

How wonderful! Congratulations, Ron!

Oh, that means so much to me! Thank you, Ellen!
