gimme fiction backmatter: scowl intro
I’ve been posting “backmatter” posts corresponding with my Gimme Fiction columns for Paper Thin Walls on my blog on said site. I’m going to begin cross-posting them here; as part of this, the introduction I wrote up, as well as the backmatter for the first two columns, will follow.

new nonfiction
1. The third installment of Gimme Fiction is up at Paper Thin Walls; interviewed is Portland-based writer Mike Daily.
2. Death + Taxes has a fine-looking new site these days; if you go there, you can read my piece on Pissed Jeans from the current issue (the one sporting Bad Brains on the cover). Nice. -

brief updates; sunday night.
I’ve tweaked the links section to give fiction its own category; you may notice one new entry over there, and that’s for the short story “Every Night Is Bluegrass Night”. That’s available via the fine people at Featherproof as part of their Light Reading Mini-Books series, alongside work by Todd Dills, Kevin Sampsell, Jeb Gleason-Allured, [...]

october 1st.
Just got through a problematic draft of a short story (for this reading, in fact). I think I have something workable as of now, which is a fine thing. The previous mixtape story I wrote was more or less a reaction to the themes of the song; this newer one has more to do with [...]

I’m going to quote the McNally Robinson event listing extensively here:
The Dollar Store Show

thoughts on some writing from a few years ago
For a good chunk of years, I worked on a series of linked stories called The “Polite Rebels” EP. Essentially, it was four stories — two short and two fairly long — which overall added up to something greater than simply “four stories pertaining to New Jersey”. I got some feedback on it from Molly [...]

Arrive in Atlanta. Settle in at hotel; extend stay an extra day. Attempt to find parking in Little Five Points. Repeat for the better part of an hour, interspersed with getting lost.
