I'm too lazy to search for pubs like that, so writing like that always ends up on my blog. Or I get some crazy idea of a larger-scale project (like <A HREF="http://wordmunger.com/warlife/index.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A>) that never gets off the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246709.post-1115258844460155542005-05-04T22:07:00.000-04:002005-05-04T22:07:00.000-04:00Thanks, Dave.

It's not a magazine piece, it's truly an essay in the old-fashioned sense of the word and needs to be in a little magazine, I think: a Kenyon Review-type place, I'm thinking. So that it's not geared toward any one vocation, it's about the process of coming to find a vocation, about vacillating between wanting a career (traditionally compensated) and a vocation (non-remunerative but spiritually important). It's literary and personal and philosophical.

For example, if your friend went on a hike through the Colorado Rockies, then maybe "Outside" or "Sierra," but if the epiphany came in a psychologist's office, then maybe "Psychology Today."<BR/><BR/>Basically, I think "vocation" is too large a category to really define what an essay is about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
