It really was! I keep revising my definition of “success”; it’s stuff like this now that makes me feel fulfilled rather than chasing some vague validation I can’t even articulate

Good point. I think I’ll try to track down the ones from the anthology, too:

The Anthology (March 2026) — March Second Chanceness
What does music pull out of you? What do the songs you once loved and maybe still do mean? What can thinking about Def Leppard or White Town or Red House Painters reveal?

Oh thank you! I admire you and your work so much, so this means a lot. And Whale Road Review! Also the best--and they send tea!

Ha, daunting but I'm looking forward to it!

Well I’m totally getting that anyway, only the timing is such that I fear it’ll lead more to “Oh THAT’S how you do it!” as I shake my head in shame
