Whoa, you’d be crazy not to read “Object,” by Richard Wehrenberg, Jr over at Slingshot, then say something about it somewhere on the Internet. These “please help” campaigns are risky, but I appreciate the faith, passion and sacrifice that goes into them. Sacrifice? Well, damn, Josh Kleinberg is giving away a bunch of (20) really great books to people who do him the kindness of promoting the stories. 75% of the books, he says, will be hard for him to part with. Go take a look. (Google alerted me to this deal because one of the books he’s giving away is mine. Thanks Josh!)

      This is story is the type I like to show my students (and will). The sentences bend and writhe over themselves. I could read it just for the sentence work. Oddly, I had a Diane Williams feel, but maybe because her sentences always make me blink.

      Heck yeah, that story is really good. A good one to teach and a good one to just read and enjoy.

      I’m maybe just being antsy, but I’m afraid the instructions I posted earlier are unclear in a way that might be off-putting. Extraordinarily simple rules have been re-posted.

      These are them, though:

      -announce in some verifiable way (blog, twitter etc.) pretty much ANYTHING about slingshot or this contest

      OR

      -submit something, or cause someone else to submit something.

      THEN

      -tell me which book you want of the ones listed here: http://00oo0.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-which-i-offer-you-one-of-twenty.html
