Thanks for your continuous support D.A. Kirk. You were one of the core writers that I wanted on the publication and I’m very happy that you’re on board. Your plan works with me! Take your time too — I don’t want to rush any writers and have them feel pressured in any way.

Thanks again D.A for reading and volunteering. (Also, if you have another name you’d like me to call you, let me know.)

“Then you can pick and choose the ones you like best (and just to be clear, I absolutely won’t take it personally if and when you decide that a particular piece isn’t really what you’re looking for, so don’t worry at all about that, ok?)”

I also had the initial anxiety of thinking about how to relay this message to the writers, so hearing this is very comforting.
