My inbox has been full of submissions for "Reflections on Love and Loss." This is great news. I've been really busy so the book has been on the backburner for a few months until now. Anyway, most of the emails are from talented writers who are grateful to be included. But then there are some others who want to know "what do I get in return?" or "will I get paid?"

I would love to be able to pay everyone whose submission is chosen, but until I find a publisher, I'm the one who is footing the bill, and I am already in debt (from college...) up to my ass.

People like that make me so angry.
