Inspiration Monday: satellite hack

Spent the morning cross-checking 47 different reference points for a medical brochure. Spent the afternoon writing copy for a lost goat flier. My life is so deliciously weird.

Read up! Laugh, cry, think!

Inspiration Monday: post-apocalyptic daydream

Computer fixed! Notes recovered! Time…still minimal. I’ll shoot for this Friday for the First Pages post, but might have to push it again. : /

Meanwhile, read some fantastic work! You guys are so darn talented!

Inspiration Monday: not my memory

InMon veteran Chris White is taking flash fiction submissions for a short story collection he is self-publishing in protest of the Premier of Queensland cutting funding for literary awards.  I don’t know much about Australian politics, but this sounds like a great project. Check it out now – the deadline is May 10.

In other news this week, AbeBooks did it to me again. I simply ordered the cheapest good condition hardcover I could find – and it came like this:

woah

 Autographed!!! Not only that, there is also a little slip of paper that appears to be the author’s address and phone number. Seriously. I am not making this up. I don’t know who Bill Lewis is (or was?) but dude? Thanks!

This is the second time this has happened to me (I also have an autographed copy of Quentin Dodd’s Beatnik Routabegas from Beyond the Stars). Maybe I should play the lottery or something.

Now check out this week’s work and tell the writers to submit something to Chris!

Inspiration Monday: all I’ve ever known

Delicious news. One of my favorite YouTube vloggers, Hank Green, has begun an exciting, unprecedented project: translating the Austen classic, Pride & Prejudice, into – what else? – YouTube vlogging. It’s rather experimental; they’re not really sure if they can pull off the whole thing, but I like it so far. The more viewers they get, the more likely they’ll be to keep going, so be sure to check it out after you read the brilliant work linked below. Start with Hank’s introduction or with the first episode.

Now onto it!

Inspiration Monday: fear vaccine

Ah. Baseball season at last. Letting it suck me in again. Yet another bad habit I picked up from my dad, along with picking at my fingers, working through lunch, and asking the waiter to replace Triple Sec with Gran Marnier in my margaritas.

Develop better habits. Read short fiction:
