Writing is an act of patient endurance; it is a spiritual pursuit, and curiosity is the god that oversees it all. Paisley Rekdal

An infamous prison farm. A great river in flood. A mysterious religious colony. Through them all, 13-year- old Samuel searches for his father in a Father Quest of antiquity updated to early-20th c. Mississippi.

@terrelldom Does it come down to whether you enjoy your own company?

[Stanley Stocker @StanleyStocker]

I'm not seeing how this was implied. What am I missing? It's been a long day. Maybe I'm just tired, hence my reading comprehension is low right now?

I had to withdraw from the PEN World Voices Festival. The last straw from me was the tweet below, which implies that anyone who chooses to be a part of PEN is tacitly agreeing that PEN aligns with their values and advocacy. This comes after many private messages from PEN.(Thread)

@andrewbertaina You should give it a shot.

[Stanley Stocker @StanleyStocker]

I am an apostle of the fiction writer Edwards P. Jones.

And he is my fiction Christ.

[Stanley Stocker @StanleyStocker]

@ShandersWrites Oh, man. I love that cover, Shannon. Congratulations!

You should share it with the PEN/Dau Gmail group. It's encouraging to see peers succeed.

[Stanley Stocker @StanleyStocker]

@andrewbertaina He does things seemingly casually that are just out of this world in his stories. Every time I'm just stunned.

He's in DC. Have you ever invited him to visit your class?

[Stanley Stocker @StanleyStocker]

Congratulations, Ada! @aru
