Hi Kate, this is Refried, just wondering if you want to talk on the phone next week sometime. This week I unexpectedly quit two writing groups! One because a guy in my small critique group was bullying me, and the other because the organization took back their conference scholarship when i told them I was gay.
I will tell you all about it but it is kind of sad. It took me a few weeks to realize I would not have equal status in the conservative group and I would have no path to publicity like the other people do.
In the other group a guy had harassed me a few times before and this time came in the group late and addressed me as "Re-cunt." Like "Refried," but a bad name. Can you believe that? It is because he does not like my religious poems.
That is kind of crazy. I thank you for not being like that!!! I enjoyed Patricia's presentation! I remember her last one and it was also awesome.
Ok have a great day, Kate, I am doing okay, just staying in touch.
