I'm so glad your Will/Kit story was accepted. I remember urging you to submit it to them, but have no idea if you were already thinking of doing so before I spoke up. Do you happen to recall? The important thing is, you did submit it, and the outcome is no surprise -- a wonderful piece, that I wish you might be moved to one day expand upon.

I am a little sad to say that my own submission to them, the short play "A Gross of Nails", about the boy Shakespeare, was declined: the editor wrote, "Thank you for your patience while we took a long time considering your play. It did come close, but ultimately, the fit was just not perfect, it did not mesh well with the other pieces. Thank you again, and I do hope you find a good home for this." Thing is, it grapples with some very tough issues, a topic that is met with almost universal discomfort, including my own. I tried to speak an uncomfortable truth, and believe I succeeded, but I can well understand that the result didn't easily fit in with the other pieces they accepted. The editor's kind hope to the contrary, I have to wonder if the play will ever find any kind of home at all.
