Lit Mag Madness

Avid reader of lit mags and watcher of college basketball. Until March. That's when the madness begins.

Anyway, if you want to buy a copy of it, you can. DM me and I’ll share the link if I trust you. I’m not posting my legal name on fuckin X dot com for a multitude of reasons.

This is because she’s the best. I wouldn’t have done this myself, like ever. But when she gave it to me, it was really great to have a physical copy of this book that I worked on for years.

I came in second place in multiple book contests! It was wild shit. But no one would put it out.

So then it just sat on my computer for the last 8 years.

For my 40th birthday, my wife surprised me and had it made as a print on demand Amazon hardcover.

I wrote a book from 2011-2016. It was a novel-in-stories, and all of it was published in various literary magazines of repute from 2013-2017.

Anyway, as one does, I tried to get an agent and failed. I submitted it to indies, and they also did not want it (stories don’t sell)

@GburgReview Ah, consultants. This explains so much.

@CHIDSPIN Can your dad be my dad instead? He’s way cooler than you.

If you’re new to writing, your writing is stuck, or you just want some great feedback, consider @housleydave’s workshop. It’s well-run, you’ll meet some other great writers, and have fun. So go sign up.

@housleydave Everyone will want to know where you stand. Is a hot dog a sandwich?

@TBQuarterly Toasty Cheesy Chalupa and a bottle of Jalapeno Noir would pair well with the next issue of TBQ. Life in Canada becomes more appealing every day.

@marchxness @davidclowery is a senior lecturer at UGA. His research interests include Application of concepts from Derivatives Volatility Trading to the Music Industry. Somehow I think this makes him even more plaid.

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

@marchxness @BorrowedHorses Yes, absolutely. And turn up the volume. It may not fit the "plaid" but the song definitely rocks. Curious to know your thoughts.

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

@marchxness Love seeing Belly on the list, but Black Dog, Dusted, or even Gepetto seem more "plaid."

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

@marchxness I get that March Flannelness doesn't have the same ring to it, but when you say plaid, this is where my mind goes.

@housleydave @barrelhouse Now I know why I'm on my fourth beer and craving Swayze movies.

@CHIDSPIN Michelob Ultra is the pretentious butthead of light beers.

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

@CHIDSPIN Actually, his first name is William, so pretty close.

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

@CHIDSPIN Emo and Goth. They're the same thing, right?

[Lit Mag Madness @LitMagMadness]

Is there a support group for people who have a lot of extra time on their hands but are writing less because the real world is much more messed up than the fiction they're writing? We may need to pay submission fees for people who are actually accomplishing something.
