Best of luck with your submission, Kathy! That’s a wise decision to keep submitting. If you recognize that you have to do it in order to stay connected to your creative life, then you must do it no matter what! The alternative–creative suicide–is a very slow and painful death. That’s a lesson I’ve learned too.

Yes the one I’d read was about growing up during the Cold War. I will find the one by Thaxton, though too! Thanks, Beth.

Wrong essay, don’t I feel silly. The one you reference by Detweiler I read on the plane to Boston for AWP, and it was marvelous. Obviously the one by Terry Ann Thaxton in TMR Spring ’13 issue consumed me.

Hi Beth, thanks for stopping by. I loved that essay and could relate so much, as you could. Take care.

Kathy

Kathy, you are a kindred spirit and I’m glad you found me in the Twittosphere. This post encourages me in the crannies most in need of warmth and light, so thank you for writing it. Also, I just finished the Detweiler essay before bed last night (was that not one of the most stunning, gorgeous, heartrending works you’ve read in months?). Her essay haunted me all day with “equal parts despair and relief” in that I, too, am the mother of a son with Aspergers.
