In yesterday's mail

I received a copy of sub Terrain, which is a literary magazine published in Vancouver.

And why did I receive my own copy of this high-falutin' publication?

Because it contained an excerpt from a work-in-progress by our very own Ms Mushrooms.

How exciting. How nice to see your (real) name in print. Congratulations on the first step to getting this Joycean never-ending magnum opus of Montreal to a publisher. One step at a time. So far, so good.

(Mea culpa: I haven't read it yet. I'm saving it for the weekend, when I'll be snowed in. Again.)
