Thanks for job well done

[pegkerr]

I sent off a copy of Swans with a letter to Jacob Reitan, a columnist for Lavender, the local gay periodical. He writes the column "Faith in Action," and I've been quite interested in his observations and thoughts about spiritual/religious issues in the gay community. He was certainly covering territory that I found myself exploring while writing Swans. So, geek-like, I sent him a mash note and my book saying, hey, I think your writing is cool. Bravo.

Tell me about an occasion when you've reached out to say, "Way to go, job well done" to a person you don't even know.

I tell strangers on the street when they look gorgeous. Then I walk hastily away so they know I'm not hitting on them.

I've also written a few notes to reporters and bloggers who have done an especially fine job.
