This week has
been an emotional whipsaw. First, last Sunday, came an acceptance from PANK, a
personal benchmark since forever. I am so, so excited about this. So much so, I
even told Facebook. Where there are people who actually know me in real life. I
don’t know about you, but to me this feels a little like the bigtime.
Then, in stark
opposition, on Friday, after caterwauling through the working week, I found
myself in the midst of some unexpected and severe emotional fallout that I don’t
care to comment on here.
My head approximated
great, orchestral swells, approximately these. I cried and hit inanimate
things. Bad off.
I’ve overbooked
myself this semester, but so be it.
Monkeybicycle
published my one-sentence story “The Death of Grunge” last week. I wrote this
one during the heat, in a car ride to the Jersey shore. I just sat with my
sweaty notebook in the backseat, trying to make these thirty-odd words come.
At the Safety
Pin Review, David Sklar wore Berit Ellingsen’s story to a sci-fi convention and
then wrote about it in “Your Message Here: SPR at an SF Con.” And mensah demary’s
“Depression’s Saturday” marks the SPR’s eighteenth issue.
I have my weekly
radio show back at the college station, where I read SPR stories and play
music. You should listen. More details here.
In the erotic
world, this coming week I’m guest-blogging at a bunch of erotica-themed sites
to boost Five Days. I’ve tried to do
this in at least a semi-interesting way, and have written a couple new fictions
and personal bits for the occasion. Should be exciting.
Here’s the
schedule for where I’ll be found:
Monday, January
30: Erotic Flashes.
Tuesday, January
31: 4-Letter Words.
Wednesday,
February 1: Getting Naughty Between the Stacks.
Thursday,
February 2: Erotica For All.
Friday, February
3: the Write Café.
I’ll post links
as they go live throughout the week. A blast.
