Mailing out fair copies of my story/novel excerpt to all my writer friends today

[Don @DHSayer]

@theoryjoe1 that they do. I am reading Early Work by Andrew Martin btw. It’s really good; I’m trying to decide how jealous I am

[Don @DHSayer]

i want to write something lean and mean, all killer no filler

[Don @DHSayer]

maybe he can finally buy that lambo

[Don @DHSayer]

Everyone knows Gass wrote the Tunnel for that lambo money, fo shizzle

@nowhesobs @CHRISF0GLE looking at them all in the book (i was just working off the kindle bc i thought i didnt have a physical copy around, then remembered i did because ofc one is always around lol) i think none of them are supposed to have the oxford comma and avril/narrator would def consider it sic

[Don @DHSayer]

@nowhesobs @CHRISF0GLE yeah, thats a tough one. “mobiles” used to be slang for cellphones (though i think i only heard it in uk movies) and the one noun usage is in a gately section, and but also there are 3 refs to the Year of Yushityu and only 1 has an oxford commas (all sic’d tho…possible mistake?)

[Don @DHSayer]

It’s third on my priority list tomorrow, after watching testament of ann lee and rewatching anora

[Don @DHSayer]

I just googled “what time are taxes due” if you want to know where I’m at rn

[Matt Bucher @mattbucher]

Don seems to have shared the beginnings of the great crypto novel--a fundamental aspect to much of 21st century America, and one greatly ignored by literary fiction. His voice here is so polished and well developed. Dare I say "Franzenian"?

[Don @DHSayer]

@mattbucher Thank you so much Matt! I can still send you a hard copy if you want. Can‘t wait for June!

[Don @DHSayer]

@theoryjoe1 And please say you’re coming to the conference this year, would love to see you again

[Don @DHSayer]

@theoryjoe1 Thank you for the very kind words, Joe. I admit that I reached for Strong Motion and Freedom for inspiration while writing this, along with Heller’s Something Happened and Updike’s Rabbit is Rich. We’ll have to see what JF himself thinks of it when I send it to him 🙂
