I used to write before I became an editor, but I don’t anymore. Not only does the journal take the majority of my free time — basically evenings and weekends, as my days are occupied in the development office of a much larger nonprofit — but also, seeing as much of what our peers are working on in a given year as we do, it becomes increasingly difficult to know what to add to that discussion. I can’t imagine myself producing anything that satisfies me the way a new issue of Caketrain does. I can’t imagine measuring up, by my own standards, to the work I’m putting out there. So I don’t write, and I feel okay about that.
