My Doubly-Delayed Announcement
Published by December 4th, 2007 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsI mentioned before that I would be making an announcement about a new venture, but our guidelines didn’t satisfy and I felt I should plead the fifth rather than stumble through an apologetic attempt at posting the guidelines here.

Published by November 14th, 2007 in Writing and Newsy Bits About Writing and Writers. 0 CommentsMy flash story Storm’s Rising is up at EDF. I’ll look forward to chatting with all of you in the comments section.
Soon I hope to disclose the guidelines for a new venture I’ll be a part of–just as soon as we can stop arguing, err, ’discussing’ those guidelines and make it all official. I’m very excited.

Bovine Aspirations Debut

On a side note, I looked up the spelling of gullible on dictionary.com, and liked this explanation of its origin:
“1793 (implied in gullibility), earlier cullibility (1728), probably connected to gull, a cant term for “dupe, sucker” (1594), which is […]
You’ll forgive me if I feel like a lot of people are dying of late…just my perspective, I’m sure.
