Celsi's Outpost Subscriber

The best feeling in the world is knowing you have made an impact on someone. Once upon a time I sent out a weekly email called "Celsi's Outpost" to over 300 people in the United States and Canada. THAT is a lot of people to entertain with poetry and stories. I did it, and I loved it.

Tonight I got an email from one of the many people that used to be devoted to reading my work. Let me tell you, my heart leaped as I read the words of the message. Not because of what was written, but just the fact that someone remembered me for my past work. The person knows C.J. Erwing! Awesome!

Perhaps there is still room for me out there in the writing world. And perhaps it's time for a comeback. Woo hoo!

Email Excerpt: "Omigod, you are still around.  I doubt you remember me but I remember you.  You used to send out a poetry letter.  I also remember celsijudee is a name you made up for yourself, was it even possibly a guy's name, but all the same it was interesting.  You had a recurring theme like: I'm not  goddess who has eyes radiating so much electric passion I could melt the coldest heart of darkness buried under the ice of a thousand Siberian winters where a single tear instantly forms an ice dagger that shatters aganst the frozen tundra like an illusion of love caught violating your silkiest sheets in the bedchambers of your haeart BUT IT'S JUST ME."
