Rebecca:
You are probably starting college right now, and have absolutely no idea who I am anymore. But! I have just done a major purge of my woefully ill-kept Slate inbox--I actually left the magazine last week--and saw this message. I was in the middle of a longish leave from Slate when you sent it, and this must have gotten buried in the post-leave, post-holiday deluge.
In any case, I thought I'd write back, after all these months, and offer a belated thanks for your readership, an apology for the non-response, and best wishes for whatever lies ahead for you. I hope you keep writing!
all my best,
NinaI had completely forgotten about all of this when I receive the email, but I am now considering reopening this blog but obviously changing the direction from an old assignment to possibly crafts and other creative things that interest me. Who knows if I will be able to find the time to do this, but if I do it could be fun.
