<p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I found an interested editor, sent in three to his new journal and they liked them, publishing them immediately.<br />
A wildland fire service organization got hold of the link via Facebook, liked what i had to say and how I said it and now I may have another project in the works.</span></p>
<p>I love how my work is like knitting&#8230; the ball of yarn unravels, the needles click, something is born and inevitably, a stitch is dropped and the yarn runs out, because nothing is ever perfect and nothing is ever done.</p>
