I am sat here watching David Letterman talking to Malala. I have really come to like him since he came back – there seems something deeper about him, and he seems to be using his platform to say something, and to talk to those who have something to really say. Maybe I just missed it… Read More Saturday
Yes, early. I spend a lot of time converting the things I experience and things I think into stories. I like that mad rush of the early stages of the story, where I seem to write more densely, and shovel on the composted notions to help my characters grow. As ends approach things simplify –… Read More Monday
we’re building statues out of poems we’re building bonfires out of white papers we sold by bills, and penned in by bills and governed by decrees, and bought by donations and fooled by x marks the spot there is treasure beneath the democratic symbol of your mark we’re building futures out of death certificates glued… Read More building with poetry

I am what you might call knee deep in Nanowrimo, and I should probably more like hip-deep, but you know – it is what it is, as they say. I always challenge myself by writing more than one novel, because the idea is that I can bounce around between them. I have been doing a… Read More Saturday
I am always looking for interesting connections and coincidences – Burroughs built instruction manuals into his fiction … ways for seeing the world. Like watching a tv show where an agent is going under cover and getting Nazi tattoos while reading about social media platforms having problems with Nazis and not appearing like tyrants. And… Read More Sunday
