Ms. Snark Still Seeking Her Identity

I see that Ms. Snark has yet again switched her photograph...

I trust that she will eventually settle on her self hood?

The May 29 change was truly a frightening sight. I came back from vacation, booted up, signed on, and that horrible picture jumped out at me; I looked as though my skin was burning up and melting into plastic. What was I thinking? Ugh! I decided to soften myself up slightly.

Just to dispel any possible myths: I am not Miss Snark (the literary agent) in another skin. I promise you that I'm another person, and my purpose for this blog is not the same as the now-retired esteemed Miss Snark's.

Speaking of retirement: I misspoke when I said that the Foetry people had gone away entirely. It seems as though one of the former members has started a blog called Post Foetry. Hmmmm. Wonder what's up with that?

The blog seems a bit flaccid, though, having none of the punch of the original forum. Too bad. Maybe no one cares about the state of literature????? I see a real fizzle here.

Within the next week, I'll be posting some more useful information for incoming freshmen.

But for now, I must unpack and unwind--shake the sand from my feet, and nurse the sunburn from too much surf and sea.

Ms. Snark
