MacroParentheticals0138 – featuring the return of the audio "I am the voice in your head" editions(!) – is out and on its way to subscribers' inboxes, 0139 and Shard003 blank pages templated and set for composition and headscratching. Returning, finally, to MainFictionThing with an understanding that part of its challenge is maintaining my interest in and keeping a sense of surprise – both for me as the writer and for the eventual reader – while working with a pre-defined (or as close as I allow it to be) form and genre. The day’s run, leaves, and visits lie ahead until they lie behind.
Tomorrow's newsletter is written, the week's bit of subscriber-exclusive 100-word microfiction all tucked in. Haven't decided if I'll return to doing the audio versions yet, that decision'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. If you'd like to partake, you can sign up here.
THE 80'Z – UZC
While my brilliant hermano didn't succeed in making me love 80's music (he’s brilliant, not a miracle worker), he did succeed, WILDLY, in making me love his take on 80's music: the most fun 23 minutes you'll have with an album this week.
Update/20231018 :: new video!
seven quick notes on THE FLASH (2023) No. 1
The Flash is one of my least favorite characters
until the right team hits the right notes
and he becomes one of my favorites.
This is the right team hitting all the right notes
(whatever they are – though Wally's a big plus)
and then some.
Can't wait for issue two.
66 RUE L – Chantal Michelle
Haunting and evocative synthesis of ambient and jazz and musique concrète into something wholly her own. A most happy discovery – will have this one on heavy rotation for awhile.
