If I were to write a book called "As I Lie Dyeing" is that okay?
An all-analog-zine-evening. Been a while since I went nuts with a scissors.
Post a picture of your dog, they said. I didn't think I could stomach reading the rest, so I didn't. This is Zoe.
My annual attempt to play the Purple Rain solo. No further comment. #prince #purplerain #guitarsolo
Disinfected my groceries today for old times sake...
What I talk about when I talk about what I'm talking about: that's what I'm talking about, a memoir.
...the bartender said, "We don't serve time travelers here." Dr. Who walked into a bar...
Contemplating daylight savings...
Lots of rejections this week. 🤦♂️ This one could be worse I guess. Onward...
It's January 26th in Minneapolis and ALL OUTDOOR SKATING RINKS ARE CLOSED because it's too warm. I don't know if I'm putting this here for posterity, as a call for help, because I got new skates this year, or what. In any case, this warm weather is a nightmare at every level.
"Weather" (get it?!) or not I go outside in this subzero blast, at least I have this jacket to keep me from having to decide between thrift store fashion and certain death.
Weird lower back pain and haven't been able to bike for over a month. Missing one of my favorite activities. Hoping 2024 will be better.
2023: The year humanity became the primordial soup for the genesis of Artificial Intelligence. Let's hope that survival of the fittest doesn't apply to silicon. Either way, happy 2024!!
If you add up the height of all the waterfalls in Minnesota it would reach to the moon and back, JK!
Above freezing almost every day through the end of December in Minnesota is utterly fu*king shocking. It's alarming to live here right now when day after day is so bizarrely warm.
Minneapolis: We need to do tree trimming in front of a major museum today so let's close the road from 7am-3pm and not tell *anyone* in advance. Me: [shrugs] I'm from St. Paul...
So happy I submitted this story to @StonecoastRev - hope you'll give it a read (and check out the rest of this great issue)!

I'm listening to more audiobooks, and I far prefer those read by the authors. Lauren Groff in particular reads her own work just perfectly. I'd like to hear her take on the work of a few others.

The Grand Opening of The Lynx was yesterday. All photos of me are sweaty and disheveled—the state of my house, lawn, car outrageous—but the state of my soul is expansive, flying. Thousands of people came. Our readers and musicians were perfect. It was pure love all day.
#writergoals I didn't know I had: Levar Burton reading my work aloud. Growing up in the 80s, the only time books got mentioned on TV were drunk writers talking to Johnny Carson, and Reading Rainbow. I'm 🫠🥰💀🤩 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lev…

Ewwww. This is a horrendous take for 53 reasons, one of which is that MOST of your favorite writers also teach and another of which is that teaching smart students makes your writing better. Some of us (clutch your pearls) teach voluntarily.

Last day in my fiction writing class. Telling my students that becoming a novelist isn’t just about producing books. It’s a way of being, folding life back onto itself like Japanese swordsmiths fold steel. Hammering it, heating it, making it stronger, stranger, dense.
Incredibly honored to have my story “Angelo” chosen by the brilliant Laila Lalami for this special issue of @pshares alongside stories by Tommy Orange, Jane Smiley, and many other writers I admire!
Advice from Stephen King that could be written across certain pages of 90% of the first drafts I’ve ever seen, including my own: “The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.”
@BuffaloBooks is going to be working hard over the next two weeks to choose the winner of our fiction prize. Every finalist manuscript will be read carefully by all our editors. Stay tuned for the announcement. Here comes a book from the Midwest.
