NEW SOUL by Kael
This is not my soul. People would think I was crazy if I told them about it… so it’s this white sheet of paper that I’ll bare myself onto. My soul is weak, it has been known to hide and sulk. My soul is wiry and ducks behind backyard fences to get away Read the rest of this entry »

My good friend Bill (not just some guy I know, but a good friend) is being deployed to Afghanistan soon, if you believe in prayer, please pray for his safe return. If you don’t believe in that, please think good thoughts … I have very few good friends because the criteria is so high.

I usually do my podcasts on Wednesday, and trust me, it’s pretty fucking cool that anyone is listening, but in the beginning I have to be honest I was going to talk about that stupid conference forever, and after I got done with that, I was going to go Read the rest of this entry »
A couple weeks ago a friend of mine told me that she was declaring bankruptcy. I didn’t think too much about this since I knew her finances were messy since her divorce, and just shrugged it off, but it was foreshadowing, I assure you. The other Read the rest of this entry »
During my stint at the writer’s conference, I learned a great many things about literary fiction. First off, these conferences, classes, and the like ARE the market for literary fiction.
