It’s raining here for more than 30 seconds.

Stress City, a collection of writing by fifty DC-area (or former DC area, at least in my case) men is either out or about to be out. The collection reprints my story Metal Church and collects some other solid DC writer dudes.

This is a great idea.

Does anybody read this thing still? Wrapping up year 1 of PhD program. Loving the west - made it to San Francisco, Montana, Vegas (twice!), Los Angeles, the O.C., and bits of Utah. Thought I didn’t get any writing done, but got a bunch of writing done. Time goes. Writing weirdening. Here’s something I did for a class this semester:

The Image is an Abandoned Fortress.

It’s cold here! Shit. Anyway, I’m listening a lot to Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid’s Exchange Session(s) CDs. Good stuff, especially for writing, or sitting and thinking about writing, or doing 1000 other things besides writing with the intent of sitting down to write. Other than that, all’s well in the SLC. I’m working on some freelance writing for some documentary people, which is really interesting. Writing about Everest, something I dont know anything about, but super interesting and enlightening.
