Next week, I have an informational interview with the editor of Prairie Fire, my most favourite literary journal. Will it be possible for me to be professional? This is my favourite magazine. How can I not gush? How can I focus? How can I keep my head on without saying "I love you. I love you. Prairie Fire is omg the best"? Any tips would be appreciated. Because this is an informational interview, it's not like I can ask for a job outright. Besides, the point of such an interview is to see if the job area is right for me. It is possible, after all, that I won't like the sound of things. And yet... to be involved with a non-profit literary journal and press sounds like the greatest thing on earth right now. I think I could handle it. I think I could love it. Just to be involved in any way would be amazing. And to be paid for such a thing would, of course, be the ideal situation. Who wouldn't want to be paid for doing something so noble, so enjoyable, and so inspiring? Ohhh, I fear I will gush. I fear it will happen.
