  • Dear World

    I am in New York City vacationing at the moment. So I won’t be around here, and won’t be quick to respond via email, for the next week (and for several days thereafter, as I’m going to be going from NYC to Cleveland to teach at the Imagination Writing Workship at Cleveland State University till…

  • Light

    For the past week I’ve been doing a revision to a story I recently wrote, which I’ve spent hours each day working on, so I’ve not been spending much time blogging, and it feels odd actually.  In the fall, winter and spring I was always blogging and had some thought I wanted to put into…

  • Away

    I’m heading out tomorrow morning for Kentucky and then on to North Carolina for the Sycamore Hill Writing Workshop, so I’ll be away from blogging for a while, and if I’m slow to respond to e-mails, it’ll be because I’m high up in the mountains and maybe won’t have consistent internet access.  Also I’ll be…

  • Returned

    I am back from Wiscon, have had a full night of sleep, and yet still feel totally exhausted.  How on earth have all of you other con-goers managed to write these lovely con reports and love letters to fellow attendees already?  I feel ready to fall over just typing these words! So I will write…

  • Home again

    I’m home, but soo much to do and catch up on.  More later.  Still. 

  • More later

    Just a note to say I’m still in New York City till the end of this week, so if I owe you an e-mail, it won’t come till a week from now most likely.  I’m having fun in the city.  It’s always nice to visit this place.  I’ve taken lots of pictures to upload later. …

  • On my way out

    I’m getting ready to head off to NYC for the Nebula Awards ceremony this weekend.  I’m not nervous.  I’m just excited to have been nominated.  That’s a real honor in and of itself. So this will be my last post for a while, unless I get a chance over the next week while I’m in…

  • Subpopular lips

    A few years back, when Christopher Rowe and Gwenda Bond were starting up their question themed zine “Say…” they asked a bunch of writers to respond to the first issue’s question, “Was that a Kiss?” I wrote a story called “Lips” and it was the anchor story for the issue. The story is my homage…

  • Something Awful

    Bob Mackey is funny.  He’s a local internet writer who just graduated from Youngstown State University and will be heading off to graduate school this fall.  In this piece, the world of temping and the world of Youngstown buildings that haven’t been kept up meet and marry like an internet version of Kafka.  Call it The…

  • A question

    I’ve been thinking a lot about blogs and online journals recently.  To be honest, not in any consideration of what I’m doing with my own so much as just being very interested in them as a form or mode.  I’m interested in knowing what other people think about them.  What are they for?  What are…
