Seedless Clementines Forever

It really makes me smile to get a clementine without any seeds.

There is a new issue of 50 to 1 out today. Check out SEEDLESS CLEMENTINES.

This is for you. You.

How is it possible that people like Bam Margera get book deals? Does he even know how to use the written form of English? Congratulations, Bam. You just made MY book of celebrities to make fun of. You join the ranks of Seth Rogen, Kanye West, Katy Perry, etc. See below.

Only Human: Stories of Individual Weakness

Also, faithful readers of my nonsense rants, please take a moment and check out the trailer to my good friend's new movie, With A Little Help. It premieres December 11th at a small, private viewing but soon to be seen in numerous film festivals. Check it out.

You forgot the tides

From the East coast to the West coast, you have already forgotten the tides. Can you feel it? Or has it taken your breath away?

There is a new issue of 50 to 1 out today! Forgetting the Tides features work by: Carter Jefferson, Thomas Scofield, Noel Sloboda, T. Guzman, Evan Schaeffer, Karyn Eisler, and Eric Bennett. It is awesome. I suggest you check it out because good flash fiction is really worth the read.

Heres a recap of The Broad Set reading in Manasquan, NJ - its a broad update. There are lots of tidbits of news, so if you're interested check it out. Avalanche Tinder 2 is now available. Email me for your free copy.

I feel really uninteresting. I'm sorry. I've been super busy (again). Life gets depressing when you're busy all the time. Plus, it's been raining for the past four days. I hate [love] New Jersey.

Dogs with human parts...

I can't get that image out of my head. Do you think if dogs had hands they would sneak into the fridge late at night?

New Issue Of 50 to 1! Dogs With Human Parts features work from: Donna Elliott, Juleigh Howard-Hobson, Stacey Dye, Christina Murphy, Daniel Romo, Amber Foster, and Tim Lantz. Definitely a good issue. I suggest you check it out and maybe even consider submitting. Thanks!

Have you seen my article on flash fiction? Its addicting.

The reading on Friday went well. Poetry and prose about marriage, Katy Perry, road graters, winter, etc. It was fun. Avalanche Tinder 2 is now available. Email someone from The Broad Set for your FREE copy.

More rejections... I'll keep trying.

I'm out of things to say. Sorry I haven't been interesting lately... at all. :-/

In hindsight, it wasn't the best decision...

This coffee tastes like nut-flavored vomit. Yum Yum!

I wrote an article for a blog called Observations run by Dawn Goldsmith. The article is about flash fiction and how its storming the realm of literature. Read the Flash Fiction Addiction. Tell me what you think?

The Broad Set Writing Collective has a reading tonight! Brewed Addiction in Manasquan, NJ. 7pm. Check out some details. Come listen to words, free copies of AVALANCHE TINDER 2, free books, our famous grab bag, etc! Afterwords we'll have some fun and go to a bar or something.

If you would like a copy of Avalanche Tinder 2 but are unable to make the reading - email myself or Pete Richter over at The Broad Set. Thanks! :-)

Hello, good to see you!

This is my 201st post. Horrah!

The Broad Set had a reading this Friday! Details. November 6 @ 7pm - Brewed Addiction, Manasquan, NJ. Come listen to words then we'll all go to a bar or something afterwords! Free copies of AVALANCHE TINDER 2! (if you are unable to make the reading, email one of us and we'll mail you a copy!)

An interview with Shane Jones is in the works, also. Stay tuned for that bag of goodness.

Make sure you check out Paul Mullin's The Dolphin Diary. If you like dolphins read this. If you like quitting your day job read this. If you like lists read this. If you like anything read this. Honestly, for lack of a better term, its downright awesome.

Read the latest issue of 50 to 1 - Take Us Home. The flash fiction addiction.

Only Human is coming along smoothly. If you care. Worked on the manuscript this morning.

I submitted to several magazines today. Let's see if my rejection streak keeps up!

I also raked the leaves out of my yard. And then beat Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Overall, a very productive day.

Watch this commercial. It is my new favorite.

The Broad Set Writing Collective has a reading this Friday! November 6, 2009 - 7pm - @ Brewed Addiction in Manasquan, NJ. Details on Facebook and TheBroadSet. There will be copies of the latest print edition, Avalanche Tinder 2, the famous grab bag, and some free books. So come hang out, drink some damn good coffee, and listen to words read aloud. (I still don't know what I'm reading yet. Any suggestions?)

Have you noticed the changes taking place on this super funtastic blog that I like to call home? Good! Well here are the reasons for them. In case you were wondering. Let me know what you think.

PS - Let's go Yankees!

EDIT - ATTENTION EVERYONE. I have very urgent and important news. Do you like dolphins? Do you like reading? Are you curious about something called 'The Dolphin Diary'? I would be. You should be, too. Read one man's journey on his mission to ride a dolphin. Written by Paul Mullin, also featured on The Broad Set, this diary will change your life. Not even kidding.
