My dad swiped a case of tea from his mess hall and brought it to a family in France where he was invited to dinner. The wife happy-cried when she saw it. “But Dad,” I said. “Stealing is wrong.” He said GI’s don’t drink tea and grinned. One of his only war stories.
@keslupo Some outlets let writers know that if they haven't heard back within a certain time frame, they can assume the answer is no. This simple courtesy is a sign of respect for writers engaged in the process.
@JTessandor56099 That wasn't my experience, but I truly don't want to engage in a political conversation. Wishing you happiness and excellent health.

@lexlambwrites I was in the same boat and a friend helped me set some teeny tiny daily goals, which I've been hitting, and remarkably, it's paying off. Maybe that method could help you too.
@TheCancerSutra Watching people’s reactions to my cancer was fascinating. One friend insisted on getting a photo of us together in case I died, an odd moment that has stayed with me. Hope you’re coping as well as possible.
