Yay!!! My Sex and the City article has been accepted for the journal (Feminism and Media Studies)
That’s good

Booooo!!! I have to do some revisions!
That’s Bad

One reviewer absolutely loved it, said I was very original, clearly interpreted the theory, and was writing about something very significant.
That’s GOOD!!!!!

The other reviewer didn’t like it, said I didn’t seem to know what I was talking about, and the significance was unclear and they would recommend to reject it.
THAT IS BAD!!!!!!!!

Personally, I thought reviewer number 1 was exceedingly kind, and reviewer number 2 was exceedingly harsh - somewhere in between was what I was expecting. Because the article is a little different in content to my usual topics I figured I might need some direction, so I am not surprised to see comments about framing it up slightly differently for the readership of the audience, but I was surprised to read the one about not being clear about the theory. *sniffle* I was a little upset about that. But then I read the first review again and felt better. Now I have the very difficult job of revising it . My instructions were to take into account all the suggestions from reviewer 1 (extending one part, speaking less about another part, fixing technical errors, rewriting paragraphs x and y), and it was up to me what to consider from reviewer 2.

So, mixed reviews, some more work ahead but… it has been accepted, so:
THAT IS GOOD!!!!

I started uploading some of my old photographs - here’s a mosaic that reveals my life story, more or less:

Isn’t flickr fun!

You are the Moon card. Entering the Moon we enter
the intuitive and psychic realms. This is the
stuff dreams are made on. And like dreams the
imagery we find here may inspire us or torment
us. Understanding the moon requires looking
within. Our own bodily rhythms are echoed in
this luminary that circles the earth every
month and reflects the sun in its progress.
Listening to those rhythms may produce visions
and lead you towards insight. The Moon is a
force that has legends attached to it. It
carries with it both romance and insanity.
Moonlight reveals itself as an illusion and it
is only those willing to work with the force of
dreams that are able to withstand this
reflective light. Image from: Stevee Postman.
