The rantings and ravings of another guy with a blog. Why NaNoWriMo has this blog breathing again. October 26, 2011. I’m doing NaNoWriMo. This year. This isn’t unusual; I’ve tried in years past and it’s been an epic fail on the level of Dane Cook stand up and the “Charlie’s Angels” remake. But I’m giving it another go this year, and I’m blaming Chuck Wendig. And my wife’s Kindle. This past year has found me trying to amp my writing up with silly little things like, oh, actually. This isn’t where I s...

THE CARE and FEEDING OF FIRST NOVELS. From the Subterranean Press edition of Mr. Fox and Other Feral Tales. Making the transition from writing short stories to writing novels was not easy for me. There, I said it. The words are up there on my computer screen. And now that I m sitting here staring at them, I realize that they add up to a flat little sliver of understatement that just won t do. So let me try again: Writing my first novel was torture. Finally, I d give in to frustration. Add to that the ubi...

Four Yes, that s how many there were. Come to my home. Come to my home in the hills. Come in the middle of feast, when the skin had been peeled back and I was ready to sup. Interrupting, disrupting. Stealing the comfortable bloat of a full belly, the black scent of clean bones burning dry on glowing embers. Four. Yes That s how many there were. I watched them through the stretched-skin window, saw them standing cold in the snow with their guns at their sides. Hullo in the cabin! They had ruined it. The h...

A Schmuck With An Underwood: August 2011
http://schmuckunderwood.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A Schmuck With An Underwood. Ramblings from a crusty old geezer in training. Thursday, August 25, 2011. I went to see Nick Lowe at the Country Music Hall of Fame last weekend. The show was part of the “Songwriter’s Session” series – which consists of a short interview followed by an acoustic performance. Nick was smart, funny, and very entertaining – a great show. The first place I heard of Nick Lowe was when the song “Cruel to Be Kind,” off his second solo album Labour of Lust. And Labour of Lust. Altho...
