  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. . .
  
  

  Dear Bethany [. . .],
  
      I am pleased to report that our readers found much to admire in your essay, "Light in August in Light of Foucault: Reexamining the Biracial Experience," and Arizona Quarterly would very much like to publish. We think it is a well-written and informed discussion of a familiar issue in Faulkner studies, and that the use of Foucault seems to work to add a slightly different perspective on that issue.
  
      I can't tell you when the essay will appear; we try to publish within a year of acceptance, but we are not always able to meet that goal. Arizona Quarterly is a contributor to Project Muse, so your article will be published electronically by The Johns Hopkins University Press. [. . .]
  
      Congratulations on writing such a fine article. We appreciate your interest in Arizona Quarterly, and look forward to seeing your article in print.

  !!! !!!  My first full-length article publication in a nationally recognized journal!  Woohoo!!!

  Since I'm on here, I might as well state the obvious: school and work are consuming my life.  Like, I have no words left to explain how completely.  I can tell you, though, that I have very little memory of June, probably because I spent most of it buried in some book or paper or other (or barcoding, but that's another story. . .).  All that to say that I've not forgotten 1) you, 2) my blog, or 3) our friendship, but I'm kind of in a summer-long hibernation from society.  (Just ask Cass and Julie and Heather!)
  

  
  I do plan to return!  Um, August, maybe?
