It's been awhile since I've posted... summer has been crazy and I haven't been writing [or philosophizing about writing] as much as I would have liked.

Recently [past few months] I got my first non-internet piece of work published in Relevant magazine. Two friends and my wife wrote about their experiences living in China... I assembled the piece, adding some reflective content of my own and some info about the then upcoming Olympics. It turned out well with only a few edits that I wish would have been [not] changed. And we got paid for it... maybe something normal for you veterans, but uber-exciting for rookies.

Just out - a new short story - TALITHA CUMI - read it now in ECLECTICA. 'Last summer I was struck down by a terrible sickness and died..' http://www.eclectica.org/v12n3/andreacchi.html '...'Talitha Cumi by Grace Andreacchi... dramatizes a Biblical event in such a way that it becomes a "real" event happening to "real" people. What I like about these stories is that, while obviously religious in their subject matter and tone, they aren't a bit preachy, and yet they capture the very personal, life-altering relationship that I imagine all Christians wish they could have with their Savior. On a stylistic level, Andreacchi's stories are religious parable meets magical realism.'

My life belongs on a stage. I breathe the musty theater air--stale and old like the inside of a tin can. I walk through my days, spacing how many stage-lengths it takes to trod to school, to sojourn between classes, to walk from my bed to the upstairs bath.
The person I am most like is not what you see. Within me, my inner voice does not project. My hidden person stands with shoulders hunched and pale cheeks bleeding into the lights that drift in from my eyes to the inner stage.
