Stayed up late some nights to get this out. Where do we get time to write? Sorry it's a bit late. Also sorry it's 23 pages. Feel free to stop at 20. It starts off where it ended last time with Glade being rescued by a man who he calls Dad. I'll email the piece.

New and Untitled

Yo fellas,

In all honestly, I forgot (until Wednesday) that I was up next.  And I’ve been working feverishly on a second draft of Dark is the Night (although my progress thus far would not seem to indicate said feverish pace). 

But I really wanted to submit something. And I wanted to submit something totally new.  So I took a break from Dark and spent my shift at the library today working on this piece.  It’s four fresh (raw) pages from an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while (and have probably even mentioned to some of you—Andy, I think, for sure).  I’ll give no introduction (because it’s the very beginning—and you know as much as I do!).  Just let me know what you think, what you want to know, what you expect might happen, what you hope will happen, or whatever else comes to mind as you’re reading.

Thanks in advance for your always awesome and appreciated feedback!

Clutch

Hello fellows,

I've sent out a section from my new draft of Clutch.

Looking forward to your brilliant feedback!!!

Colson Whitehead "How to Write"

Read This.

I have sent my latest.  It will be the shortest submission to date. I plead everything at work has gotten in the way as well as the fact that I have revised this piece a lot. I want to know what you think of the premise.

It is based partly on an actual event in North Dakota.

I have no outline, no middle, no end, just an idea. No more clues. Let me know what your think.

Michael Kimmel's GUYLAND

I thought y'all might be interested in Michael Kimmel's book Guyland, an exploration of the pressures today's young men (16-26) experience on their way to becoming adults.

While I don't agree point for point with his portrayal of things, his big ideas are good ones, and he takes compelling looks into things such as hazing.

Here's a link to it on Amazon.
