Similar to the soul sigh I felt at the conclusion of Sopranos, or the incompletion of Deadwood, the ending of The Wire left me wanting for a long TV drama. I had completely forgotten about The Shield for a few years, and grabbed season 4 from the video store. By the second episode, I was hooked back in, worried for the characters and the community. For the briefest moment, I wondered, between his drug raids and alliances with criminals, his dodging of supervisors and internal investigations, and trying to manage a splitting family, when does Vic Mackey have any time to shave his head?

For at least the last five years I've wanted to give a calendar of original artwork as a holiday gift. Inspired by Dave McKean's "Antropomophik" 1997 calendar, I procrastinated each year for eleven months, and then failed to design anything satisfactory. Around Thanksgiving of this year, I resolved to complete the mission. The Rew X version of me (who does cover art for 3LBE) was argued down by the writer version of me (who was aching for an assignment). So I'm working on twelve flash fiction stories. I finished the last one early this morning — first drafts in longhand. It's been difficult and explorative, and enormously fun. So far, they're all untitled. To be followed by a few days of editing, layout and design. Very few people will receive this calendar. Hopefully they'll enjoy the stories, but at least they'll have a month to decipher each tale. I'll look at the pieces again in January and decide which might be ready to submit to publications. And if they progress to that stage, maybe you'll read one of them some day.

Posted the latest issue of 3LBE today, less than a dozen hours after my goal. I tell you, it was like backstage in theatre, with new crises every night of the production. A number of pieces remained incomplete and unanswered for the past week, as I waited to hear back from authors, and struggled to complete the artwork — nay, to find time to sit down and find the artwork brain space. It's done now, and the impulsive vows to never do it again are replaced by immense satisfaction.

In an attempt to afford mortgage and the heating bill for the winter, my friend Zander will be moving into the spare room. Before he does, I decided to sand and refinish the hallway and floor.

Transcribing draft two into the computer, incorporating margin notes and other edits. There are echoes of my own life in this one, and it feels too easy. Past stories I've written with such similarities have not felt done until I could not recognize the scene, revisions often coming years later. Oddly, this story has more speculative elements than most of my previous pieces.

Two of my great friends asked me a few months ago to read at their wedding, that they'd choose an appropriate text. As the day drew nearer, they said, "Hey, you're a writer," (which I forget myself sometimes), "we decided you should read something you've written." I felt the pressure increase about four-fold. For the next few weeks, I was torn between asking for guidance, wanting them to approve it beforehand, and striving to surprise them. Their ceremony was yesterday, and I was more nervous reading for them than I can remember at any public reading. There were applause, and I received several positive reviews afterwards, none more gracious than from the happy couple. If I never write anything again, I'm honored to have done this. It was from the heart and every word completely true. Even the part about stopping the evil teenage softball team and their diabolical scheme to blow up the country club with a stolen warhead.

It's come to my attention that my visage has entered the YouTube realm. Many years ago, I was reading the flash fiction anthology Sudden Fiction for a freshman college lit class. After my description of one particular story, my friend Nick announced that he wanted to make an 8mm version for his first student film project — and that Matt and I had just "volunteered" to star. So, here is the short film "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella", from original story by Fernando Sorrentino. There seem to be at least ten film adaptations online of this piece since our 1991 effort.

I was musing today over the varied spelling of the mumbling expressions for positive and negative. I pause when reading dialogue that's spelled, "Huh huh." I just don't know what that means. In the dialect of my particular Midwestern upbringing, the slight accents involved led me to mentally spell affirmative as "Uh huh," or a less audible "Umm hmm", while a passive disagreement was "Huh uh" or "Nuh uh." I'm mostly sure I've never used these expressions in one of my own stories, but when I read a "huh huh", well, it just sounds like a double neutral in my head voice. Related to this, someone said to me the other day, "And then he sook his head yes." Again, in my experience, shaking has always been a side-to-side motion, while nodding means up-down. Are these people from Mars?

Dirt and hairs and other treasures have been staring back at me from the casing of my keyboard.

How many stories do I have submitted for consideration right now? Thus far I've been superstitious about referring to my stories by name until they are accepted, and I believe I'll keep it that way. But here's a brief review… Sent out Story2 today (having withdrawn it from elsewhere with no query response for 3 months after the 90-day reading period). Received a query response that Story3 is still in the editor's slushpile. Story 4 (1/6/08) still no response from the query of two weeks ago, (I usually query 2–4 weeks beyond the magazine's declared reading period). Story5 (4/21/08) and Story6 (3/7/08) both confirmed received (one pulled from non-responsive market), now within their reading period. Story7 mailed off last week (4/26/08), after a previous magazine never received it. Still waiting on the publication date for Story1 which was accepted 2/1/08 (previously referred to by name, and I'm hoping I didn't jinx that magazine's ongoing publication).

Further casualties in the speculative fiction market, as more magazines announce they are ceasing publication: GrendelSong, Rogue Worlds, nanobison, and Noctem Aeternus. Thanks to them for sharing great stories, this writer is sorry to see you leave.

A disappointing day in the life of a writer. An editor responded to my query of one month ago to say he'd never received the (Story7) the previous month, making it over 60 days that that story has been going nowhere. I thought the piece was a good fit for that magazine, being why I sent it of course. Then he tells me they're closed to submissions for an undetermined amount of time. This type of situation shouldn't upset me at all, professionals don't get upset, but my dismay was complicated for a few reasons. I know the market fairly well and don't have a next idea of where to send this one. And that I have queries out for a number of my stories and am not receiving responses. I've even pulled a few stories from consideration for unusually long (non)response times. A day in the life, I suppose. Just keep reminding myself that I have one story accepted for publication.

Today I learned that my dog Grendel reacts with concern and anxiousness at the mention of Cthulhu's name. I was attempting in my office a proper guttural pronunciation as H.P. Lovecraft transcribed "Khlûl'hloo", when Grendel came running from the other room. Each time I repeated the name, Grendel leapt into my lap, tried to nip and kiss my mouth, as if to snatch away whatever had possessed my tongue. I calmed him, and, as an experiment, spoke the laymen's attempt at the word, "Kaa-thoo-loo", to which the canine was apathetic and stationary. It must have been some kind of fluke, some odd happenstance, I thought, and uttered again the proper name of the Great Old One. Grendel immediately barked at me with alarm and licked my face with worriment. My apologies to the world if I have awakened any slumbering things.

Feeling poorly that it's now been one year between issues of 3LBE, intended to be a tri-annual magazine. How frustrating since I haven't been lax in reading submissions. Truth be told, most stories in the slushpile simply haven't been appropriate for the magazine, in terms of quality or what we want. What I have not been actively doing is soliciting stories. I've raised the pay scale, which is nowhere near professional rates, though it may help. Also been trying submitting the market listing to as many sites as possible.
