Craft Notes
5 Glots of Snoo
1.) We would rather watch art made than the art itself.
Doesn’t work for books.
“Hey, wanna come over and watch me write?”
“I would rather shoe a snail.”
2.) mud luscious press has a nifty submissions process and a sale. Why not use both?
3.) Aimee Bender interview.
4.) There is a better word than the one you have down. That’s a problem but a koan type of problem. Eventually, you will stop and settle on one word (not the best word). Why? Why then? Is it maddening or gladdening to go through this process? Define the term strike. I thank you.
5.) Just got Ander Monson’s Vanishing Point in the mail! Holy shit. This book bleeds over into the web and then the web bleeds back. More on this later. Monson’s not only ahead of the curve, he’s troweling the curve for us, cut, tamp, curl.

Thanks Sean, good stuff. The Ander Monson’s VP and website, I like that a lot. I see more and more people doing things like this. Thought about doing a geocache for my new book, Transubstantiate, and we’ll do a little audio CD and extra chapter for the S/L (the web stuff is beyond my intelligence) but anything that can get the audience to engage, and to create a bit of excitement, and serves the purpose and vision of the novel – that’s all good. May have to add VP to my next shopping binge.

Ever have one of those days where you feel like you just can’t read another thing?
Well, that’s me today.
I managed to get through the Lapham article, though, and feel better now, feel that I read something sincere, thought-provoking and quick-old-mannish-with-flourish-and-feeling.

A snippet of the Monson book ran in the Believer a while back. It was pretty great.
I would look for the link to the online preview but my computer’s network is convinced the Believer is stuffed full of porn.
