2010: Still Looking GoodJanuary 16, 2010 January is half over, and it still feels as though 2010 is off to a great start. Trivia 10, which includes my essay "And Will Rise: Sourdough, Lesbians, and Fermentation," should be out before long. I was afraid it had gone missing or defunct (defuncted?). Turns out I didn't get an e-mail that was sent to all contributors in early December. Women's Review of Books has asked me to turn my blog about Mary Daly's passing into an obit for them. They also liked the piece I wrote for their blog about Joanna Russ and an exchange that took place about reviewing in several issues of Sinister Wisdom in the early 1980s. The blog editor asked if I'd be interested in contributing a regular column to the WRB blog. I didn't play hard to get. We've been tossing column names back and forth. Currently the favorite is "One Wired Sister." A pretty good letter by me is in last Thursday's Martha's Vineyard Times. (Scroll down to the bottom of that page. It's the one about the iceberg.) And the features editor of the Martha's Vineyard Times got canned on the first Monday of the new year. There has been much happy dancing about this among island writers. True, whatever comes next may be worse, but until it materializes we can hope that in future more writers will be willing to contribute to the MVT because they won't have to worry that the story that appears under their byline looks nothing like what they wrote. If more writers who (a) can write, and (b) know something about Martha's Vineyard, contribute, maybe the Calendar will be able to cover more than goddamn movies (whose only connection to the Vineyard is that they're being screened here) and shopping advice. Not only that, I like the writing I'm doing -- I'll be posting another piece of To Be Rather Than to Seem in the next day or two -- and I'm booked solid with (paid) work through the middle of February.
