Say it will be so…
Despite slashes to arts funding and a rapidly changing publishing industry, an email this morning relit my hope for fiction writers. According to American Short Fiction:
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 06:13:19 -0500
To: me
From: them
Subject: Writers are the next rock gods
…Maybe you’re OK with a world where there’s a widening disconnection from art and people feel powerless to stop that. We’re not. We don’t want to talk about whether fiction is dying, we want to show you how deeply it’s thriving…
Sincerely,
The Editors
I believe! And, I want to shout it to the world, as you can see. I promise to work on the outfit before I hit a stage anywhere though. Until then, pay American Short Fiction a visit. They really are pretty awesome.
Three cheers for the future rock gods–writers!

“Author Insides” Interview
read the interview
“I…have probably saved a ridiculous amount on therapy because I write. It’s very freeing—I can floor it the wrong way on the freeway, say good riddance to people I’d like to, or cut a finger off, and it’s all harmless. As well, though, I have found compassion for others I might not have understood if I hadn’t examined a character as deeply as you must to be able to slip into their skin.” ~ N on the Vagabondage Press Blog
read “Nineteen Degrees” – a story about what it was like to have held a hummingbird
“…I close the towel around her, cupping her in my hands. She is so light, like a penny, and each time she stirs it is so faint, like moth wings…”
~ published in the August 2011 Issue of The Battered Suitcase from Vagabondage Press and an honoree in the eChook Digital Publishing 2011 ‘Tis the Season Competition
watch for two poems in Love Notes from Vagabondage Press, out just in time for Valentine’s Day

Nineteen Degrees
Honoree / Top 15
This one is a true story, and to have held a hummingbird is–I don’t even have words for it. Then again, I guess I did find words for it.
Thanks, Sally, for calling that day.

Genesis
In the beginning, The Arachnid spun its web from the void, in the deep darkness that was upon the face of the heavens, and the winds moved upon its web.
And the winds brought forth the first fly to The Arachnid’s web, causing the fly to become ensnared.
And The Arachnid felt the fly’s movement upon the face of its web and was drawn to the fly.
And The Arachnid crept along its web, descended upon the fly and called what it found there Life… <<read more>>

The Last Two Minutes of the Game
“Do the last two minutes matter?” you ask, turn off the game. We all wrestle you for the remote. Later, in your rusted Bug, with red and yellow gumballs spilled and rolling around the floorboards, I stick my hand out the window into the rain to push your broken wipers
back
and
forth,
back
and
