Sorry, TJ. Too much reality cutting into my escapism. Hope you're doing okay. I put out a bulletin on MySpace about the new issue. Hopefully that'll get some people on here.

"Reality cutting in on my escapism."

Hmmmmm. I like that. Can I steal that?



Just kidding.

I believe fiction, even literary fiction such as "Best American Short Stories" guest edited by Salmon Rushdie (and I love it), is fantasy. Even literary stories, and the stories pull us into the fictional and fantasty lives of the characters.

When real life cuts into this escapism, it usually sucks.
