First, Brian, thank you for your service. TJ is also prior Navy and wish we would've had time up in the store to let you two squids share some nautical gab.
Second, thank you for this post. Especially for the marginalized writers, and we've seen a lot of effort out there in the sub calls with editors seeking these voices with a heavy lean. So long as that doesn't turn prejudicial toward other authors, then hell yes, it's a cleanup effort that's needed, particularly after the disgusting accounts you relayed here. It shouldn't take such a fight to get your work past biased eyes. There's enough favoritism I hear about it as it is.
Finally, I've been trying to be a big shark author since I started writing silly shit like you describe in 1984. Getting more serious about it in college, amassing my share of rejections like all of us. Enjoying spectacular success as a metal, punk and horror journalist for 16 years with side forays into NHL game analysis and local beat reporting. Switching to pure horror fiction once all that ran its course.
I have a tremendous support system and a nice audience, but your words here resonate because I have beat my ass senseless, especially all last year, and nearly hung it up until things took a pendulum swing. TJ said it as I droned it inside my head over and over: "Patience, Ray, patience. It will come."
Thank you, man. Just thank you.
SUCCESS IS THE BEST REVENGE. Hell to the efiin' yes.
thank you for serving Brian. I also did dontate to help Frank I too have two herniated discs in my lower back and facing neurosurgery from a buss accident. I completly understand what he is going through. I wish for a speedy recovery for him. I also shared the linik with my facebook friends.
The photo from '86 is a good reminder that the work precedes everything else. Writing from outside the Anglophone world adds its own layer of patience—no conventions to be denied entry to, but also no conventions at all. The notebooks accumulate either way.
