Glued:
So my piece for The Believer on the hot glue gun, after some (okay, lots of) initial trepidation is done. My intrepid editor Vendela gave me solid feedback that I put to good use. I believe it’s set to show up in next month’s issue.
This is really when the non-fiction writing process is most rewarding, when you learn something you didn’t overcame your fears about not knowing and wrote. Then, even if you and your first reader disagree, you both intuitively sense the intrinsic worth of the piece.
I can’t wait to do another.
