Since She Left: Allie

aletdownsquid:

Since She Left was the first blog I followed when I started Tumblr.  I admire Mike Waskom’s concept and his writing.  It may not seem like a big deal for other people but to have a submission posted to that blog feels phenomenal. 

And this is how I know I’m succeeding in my goals with this blog. I’m so glad that I took it public and made it submission based, because it’s not about the me factor (and I was tired of writing about myself). The bottom line is that since she left has 19k followers and that’s a big deal. I read the tags all the time. People get excited to see their work published, it’s so cool that I can do that for them. They even blog things like “omg since she left liked my post”, and “ I’m going to watch Parenthood and read since she left”, and other really sweet thank yous. It makes me so happy to be able to provide this feeling for people. It’s like, a blog I started out of heart break is now making people happy to be able to vent their heartache, and it in turn makes me happy.

Also I’ll say that Donald Quist is on the short list of people who I want to drink beer with, FYI. His first book drops soon, I’ll be sure to remind you all to buy it when the time comes.
