So, the spate of new NEWSwire articles seems to have ruffled a few feathers, my own included. And, since the semester has just started, my brain is somewhat stuck in "Teacher Mode", I thought I might list a few things that could help ANY writer in their endeavors.

Never heard of these guys before, but their album was previewed on NPR and I just really liked it.
Got my first MFA packet back today, special Saturday FedEx delivery because my mentor waited too long to send it. I need to revise 20 pages (of the 42 I sent)... Read More

I hate to be all internet tough guy & everything, but I really want to run into that cat in my city somewhere & beat him until he's just a bloody twitching thing. Yeah, yeah, I know that won't change no minds or anything, but goddamn. He is just fucking disgusting on so many levels.

What it took to get an 8th grade education in 1895...
