  10. Luke Geddes—

      Working on dealing with fear of starting anything new, meanwhile trying to figure out ways to promote my book without being a douchebag, which I’ve already failed at by posting this comment.

      Fifty Grades of Cheese

  12. Erik Stinson—

      yeah considered that, seemed too arty

  13. Nicholas Grider—

      Dull, stilted 400-page novel for August delivery and a short story that marries The New Sincerity with whimsical magic realism and “poetically gritty” masculinist realism.  The story includes mutual masturbation with grimy farmers while the novel only features light bdsm with a guy named Alan.

      My mom’s pretty arty

  16. A D Jameson—

      Book It! I used to do that.

  17. Frank Tas, the Raptor—

      Making a bunch of zines using college students’ unused print quotas. Trying to rewrite famous speeches using gibberish with similar phonetics and cadence. Then hopefully a gothic/noir/whatever novel, might need to get some adderall for that.

      Also listening to a recent college grad talk about different places to move that will probably mean nothing to her in two years.

  18. Jackson Nieuwland—

      My tan

  19. William Owen—

      Smoked Gouda, and Old Drunken Goat. Still the best cheese I’ve ever had.

  20. Buck Wilkins—

      I’m learning the administrative side of an online volunteer data management system being used by the non-profit where I work. I started this process in October but was told to hand it off to someone else. It came back to me last month after passing through several hands almost unchanged.

  21. Trey—

      Imaginary wedding vows. Not as art, just, like, practice.

  22. Trey—

      also poems about space-ish

  23. A D Jameson—

      I worked on mine today, while biking.

  24. A D Jameson—

      Any good ones?

  25. Shannon—

      Stories. Also trying to figure out how to carve out some extra money in my budget so I can go get more holes put in my face sooner rather than later.

  26. Trey—

      no, none at all! but this, I think, is why I must practice.

  27. A D Jameson—

      Now you’ve got me thinking that I should be practicing, too.

  34. A D Jameson—

      A friend of mine wrote a poetry collection while watching TV—associative response stuff.

  35. A D Jameson—

      I once worked in tech writing, and found that there really wasn’t any work for me to do.

      novel that involves 20-somethings in south texas drinking lots of alcohol & discovering a satanic cult in their town

  41. sam salvador—

       awesome–would love to read that

  42. A D Jameson—

      I don’t think he ever published it. It was David Rees, the guy who went on to do Get Your War On. The book was called The River of Science, I think. I haven’t read it in some time now but I remember really liking it.

  43. sam salvador—

       well now i just want to read it more!

  44. A D Jameson—

      I just googled it and there’s no mention of it online. My copy is in a box at my parents’ house, I think. Maybe I’ll email Dave and see if he’ll let me post some excerpts here, or something…

  45. Don—

      Season one of ‘Gossip Girl’.

  46. werdfert—
