Can I be honest about my takeaway? I think the easiest way is to copy and paste what I sent to the author:

    It occurred to me that there is an irony in publishing this story. Lit.cat is my way of building something underwater. I've run away from a lot of problems by spending a lot of time drinking, smoking, and working on my literary journal. I don't think it's really gonna go anywhere, but I'm not cancelling it quite yet. Regardless, I'm eternally grateful.

I may or may not be an overly honest person in my interactions.
