No really, I have been working and sending stuff out, but this has been the indian summer of the soul. Two new stories are up--"Somewhen" and "Hyperverbia"--both of which are science fiction in that they hinge upon scientific and technological themes. The stories, however, are more about the characters than the science. As always, please let me know what you think.

The Albatross...

The school year's almost done and, therefore, so is work. Parties, parties, parties. Hoochy, heartbreak, and hangovers. The weather's so hot I'm sweatin' like a priest in a whorehouse. Good news and bad news. Bad...I apparently suck at Anglo-Saxon verse, as every attempt at writing that damn scrabulous poem leaves me broken atop the brachy rocks of verse. Good...it's going to have to be a prose piece--short though epic--and I've been writing other stuff. Sonnets, oddly enough. And more short stories, of course. As always, enjoy and tell me what you think.

'words no good, words no good'

So, I haven't made much headway on anything that isn't test prep related in the past couple of months. That's not true. I've been pissing away my time playing video games, watching DVD's and trying not to get fat. I've only just started reading again and have finished A Clockwork Orange (both the movie and the book) and then some in the span of three days. Before that there was No Country for Old Men and, more recently, There Will Be Blood. Rompin' stompin' good times. Now I'm reading a kid's book about child murderers that was written by a devout atheist and kicking around an idea that came from a conversation with someone on DA. Hone

Thanks for watching.
Thanks very much for the Watch! All the best with your writing!
First of all, it's "Sophomoric." Second, the "put up or shut up" argument is even MORE fallacious than argument by popularity. Whether or not I have any work to show for myself is irrelevant to my qualifications to criticize others' work. If you disagree with a film review in the New York Times, do you ask the critic, "what movies have YOU made?"
Yeah, the groundhog day review does suck balls, I'll give you that. In fact, I MADE it in the INTEREST of "put up or shut up" so I could have SOMETHING for people to read. A bunch of rushed, disorganized thoughts and, yes, pedantry later, you get that.
Oh no! I hope I don't end up the brunt of a BAD JOKE!

Once again your ignorance is literally dumbfounding. The argument "put up or shut up" wasn't about your qualifications as a writer. Clearly you have none. Two DA accounts, a PC (no, a macbook, right?), and bitterness don't count. The argument was about your ability as a writer and, more to the point, as a thinker. If I must dignify your childishness with a response, the argument is already a moot point. And don't compare yourself implicitly or explicitly to a critic from the New York Times. That's just...embarassing. Graduate from whatever liberal arts program mommy and daddy are paying for, find yourself some meaningless but lucrative work, maybe go to graduate school to chase the failed dream of literary pretension that will keep you up most nights--and leave the real creative work to real creative people. Calm your fears of becoming the brunt of a bad joke. You already are one.
Thanks very much for the
