well, most people don’t read my stuff br cause not published br except in little magazines br with an average circulation br of under a hundred br but one day got a letter br from a guy in prison br saying: br Greeting br from the mortuary br found your writing in Monozine #3 br somber br yet cleverly amusing br your bio indicates publication in 50 zines br if you have any please send br zines pass the time br gonna be here br for another eleven years. br I laminated his letter br hung it on my wall br then Xeroxed my 3,487 page novel br WARRIORS OF THE UNSURPASSABLE br COMPASSION br and sent it off by UPS. br Six months later received a note: br You’re the greatest br Send more br The longer the better.
