The Dog Days of Summer What To Do List
Perhaps you're feeling a bit of writer's block. You want to write a book, maybe even publish a book (self-publishing, anyone?), but it's just too danged hot. Here are a few ideas that can take you away from the grind for a spell...
1. Check out these pictures of Jonathan Ames Boxing Craig Davidson. (Though 13 years his senior, Ames won!) Ames is now dating Fiona Apple. Are you a P.G. Wodehouse fan? – then tell me you’ve read Ames’ Wake Up, Sir!
2. FC2 guru Brian Evenson is a writer you should get to know. Check out his story in The Apocalypse Reader.
3. Gary Lutz – is the master of sentences. Really, he’s the kind of writer whereby you must stop and breath and savor the end of each period and what came before. His new chapbook, Partial List of People to Bleach is out on fab micropress Future Tense Books. Grab a copy of this pocket happy chapbook before it's all gone.
4. Jeff Johnson is hilarious. Read his blog, Fitted Sweats. ‘Nuff said.
5. Joe Andoe’s book Jubilee City: A Memoir at Full Speed rocks. If you grooved on Post Office by Bukowski, then you’ll dig this.
