Aside from that Cricket poetry contest in the July 1995 issue [So you filled your hands]

I have one actual publishing credit to my name: once upon a time,

ajodasso guest-edited an edition of Behind the Wainscot with the theme of windows, and I gave her what I like to think of as pseudo-Italian absurdism with "Shadow Box." It was going to be in a "best of 2007" anthology which even had some names in there that I recognized -- Catherynne M. Valente and Ekaterina Sedia are the ones I remember. Sadly, the anthology never happened, but I was terribly excited about it, and the point of this all is that I need to get on getting that feeling back again.

Thank you all for the prompts! I will get on those this weekend.

Cricket! I used to read that in the 80s (it wasn't available in Australia but the library would get a copy of most issues).

Those magazines are the best! I think my mom gave subscriptions to every small child she could get her hands on -- Babybug, Spider, Cricket, Cicada, all of it. I read those like they were going out of style! I always loved the ongoing cartoon strip.
