I Await Your Kidney

That is my favorite, computer-generated email subject line to date, and not because it preceded a rhetorically sound argument for why Viagra can turn my life around. It's just that it proves the axiom that if a million monkeys type for a million years, they really can come up with something. AND, it sure makes you want to keep reading, which every good title must do. I wonder if I can work it into the Murder by Month Series. I Await Your Kidney in January.

In news that is sure to give adolescent teen boys and insurance convention attendees everywhere a momentary pause of sadness, the chairman of Hooters was found dead in his home. It is everyone's hope that this will not uspet the delicate balance allowing camel-toe shorts and chicken wings to come together in one delicious place.

On a much happier note, I have been asked to do a booksigning in my hometown of Paynesville, at the Blessing Well, from 4-7 on August 17th. Refreshments will be served (I asked for a keg and a bag of pretzels, but I can't promise anything), and it will be fun! Come one, come all.

Right now, I am creating some kick-ass online Creative Writing curriculum. If you're interested in learning more about the craft, you should register for my fall online course. It's a regular college course, and so transferable to most institutions, but it's all online so you can be anywhere to take it. Back to it.

  3. I was going to try sleep, but then Lex Ham nagged me about the short story, so now I'll have to put that off for a couple more days. ;) Actually, thanks for the gentle pressure, Lex Ham. I'm out of town until Friday afternoon, but my parents are taking my kids that evening, and I am going to stay home and pound out my first draft. I'm a little scared, but you just gotta dive right in, right?
