So You Want To Be A Writer

You know the Comment I've been grousing about for months? All that work, all those revisions?

Published!

Joy joy happy joy joy.

If they didn't take it this time, I don't know what I would have done. Besides cry. A lot. Or swear. Or something.

Anyway, what does this mean, you ask?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I mean, it means that sometime in the next year a Law Review will be published with my name on the cover as an author, but other than that? If I wanted to go into teaching it would be extremely helpful, but I don't. So I don't know. But it's cool, and it's good to have all that work go for something.

Really good.

Law School is mostly just work work work work work, tons of hours of not much fun. Late nights, early mornings, missing dinners more often than not--there's never a moment when you don't feel the pressure of things to do. But every once in a while, you have a day. Sometimes, you have two in a row. Sometimes, life is sweet.

Congrats!
I'm glad it all paid off!

I'm impressed! Must be one of those articles with one paragraph of text and then line after line of footnotes. But then when I think of your breezy, pithy, entertaining style of writing I ask myself, "how can that be?" Is it possible to be scholarly, legally literate and interesting/entertaining at the same time? With you I'm sure that it is all possible. So I am not suprised that you are published - simply delighted and proud to be your PatAncester

Thank you all very much!

And, Papacito, I am afraid that the Comment reflects none of my style at all. Dry as toast, in fact, if somewhat controversial in substance. ;)
