Hey Paul:

Thanks for the blog to keep us updated. Tried to reply the other day, but I’ve been in backwater Iowa with little or no internet and cell service. Keep up the writing, I’d agree with others that it’s a good read.

Paul:

I pity the fool who doesn’t read your blog.

I frequently read Fiction Magazine, which is based in New York City. The following link explains how to submit your work (http://www.fictioninc.com/submissions.html). I don’t know if you dabble in fiction, but you are a talented storyteller. In my opinion the line between fiction and reality is not always discernible, so I am sure you could do it. Nonetheless, I also have a friend who works for a literary magazine in Cincinnati. I will try to get a contact for you.

Keep writing…by the way, read Annie Dillard’s The Writing Life. Your blog reminds me a great deal of the experiences mentioned in her text.

Adios, Joe

I value your opinion, Joe. I’d like to publish, but I obviously don’t have any direction or an end in mind. I also don’t wanna lose the muse if bring structure into the writing. Maybe you could advise me and, when I publish, I’ll dedicate it “To Joe, for his invaluable advice and Mr. T soundboard.” Ha. But, yeah, any thoughts?

You writing reminds me of a cross between Anthony Bourdain and Mark Twain. Perhaps, you should try to publish some of your writings. I typically struggle to read blogs because they are not inviting to me as a reader. Your writing, however, always catches me. I appreciate your style and voice, and I look forward to reading more.

Adios,
Joe

Thanks, Steph. I was trying to think of one word to describe you the other day on FB. “Sincere” came to mind and “Genuine” might say even more. You’re awesome. Stay in touch.

It’s gonna be bizarre living through a football season without craving a crock pot full of chili on the counter, that’s for sure. Thanks for your kind words, Chris. Be in touch.

Thanks for sharing this, Paulie! I love to read your words. You are an eloquent writer. You have an unquestionable ability to make your reader understand the situations at hand. I have never experienced ANY of these things, and yet, somehow, I know I will dream of them with great fondness in the future.

You are an amazing man and I wish you all the best!
