near miss

Dewitt Henry thought the voice in "How To Become a Writer" was "irresistable," but he did not "believe its urgency." In short, he ALMOST took the story. This saddens me because the voice is pure me. It's a bipolar illness story, a true one, set at a friend's wedding.

Well, maybe someone else will take it.

I told Dewitt in an email to believe in the urgency of the voice. How more sincere can I be?
