Look at this handsome man

In a contemporary literature course I'm teaching this semester, I had my students find a literary magazine, discuss it, and review something that had been published there. I've done this in class before, but this year I've learned about a lot of cool places I've never heard about including...

That one flower in Van Gogh's Sunflowers that looks like Goku

I want to put in for a week off so I can just read and eat this stuff

Checking the mail today, my neighbor called me over. "Want to see my oyster shucking knives?" "Yeah, let's see them," I said. If anyone has questions, I'll relay them to my neighbor.

I teach from a section or two out of Horror in Architecture every semester. I get to say things like "your story is a room with vestigial limbs, arachnid bodies" when they ask why we're reading from an architecture book in a creative writing class

I can't get over how Luo Guanzhong ends each chapter in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Written in the 14th century.

I'm the editor at Tuskegee Review. Submit your work to us before April! I'm particularly in need of flash fiction and CNF. #literarymagazine #flashfiction #cnf #fiction #poetry #etc

A convenient list of everything Apex has published this year.

Freezing in Alabama today, so I'm holed up by a window doing the nerdiest possible thing to stay warm.

Trying to get to AWP this year and this is the travel paperwork I've put together for my university. This used to be a whole tree.

Some fiction I have up at BULL! Check it out-- I write truly heartwarming stories.

Grades turned in and immediately the part of the year where I can't get writing done because I feel like I'm supposed to be doing something for work, but can't quite figure out what.

I have a story out at Apex Magazine today! #shortfiction #sciencefiction

On the way back to Auburn, I decided to drive through Monroeville, the "Literary Capitol of Alabama." I'll have to make time to stop one day.

Cold weather is here. Felt like brooding and burning some old correspondences.

Was just told by a Game X Change employee that Funko Pop! figures make up half of their sales, and I've never doubted anything more in my whole life

A beauty from Sarah J. Sloat's HOTEL ALMIGHTY (Sarabande).

My new short story in Asimov's. I never really know what ideas are going to stick, but when they stick it's the happiest feeling in the world. ##sciencefiction #shortstory #literarymagazines

Anyone watching the From S3 finale tonight? Sound off your feelings here.

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, “Remember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say “What?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.

Olga Ravn is incredible. MY WORK is one of the most honest books I've read in a long time. #motherhood #literature #memoir #hybridlit #poetry

Trying another (another) social media platform.
