i call my cat anus (2025-35 and 36 weekly post)
again, the dullness of updating, so simple: the revolution and translations; started going to a weekly writing night; dreaming of websites
again: dreaming of websites
better for your development (2025-34 weekly post)
wrote a lot this week! i’m happy with that, as I’m sure you are too. you are, after all, by point of fact, at least while you read this, one of my readers
most exciting (for me), I submitted The Girl to an agent. in doing so, i wrote a couple summaries of it, which felt (surprisingly) nice. i like the book. i like its gimmick. here’s to hoping this agent i sent it to feels the same way
also: less interesting single story submissions, to magazine, who will love me and publish my work; also: retooling notes on the classic “Uncle Konig”; also: working on Meet Me in a Dream translations (a difficult Ito story, our guy is slangy and referential in a way that takes real effort)
more fun for me tho was attempts to do some “web art” work, baby-stepping an engine for my three daughters with a fun little flash about a magic bomb (aint it always with me a bomb? who can accuse me of re-using my symbols?). web art’s fun
Sunshine Farms-Medium Eggs, Grade A (2025-33 weekly post)
never content to one project, i’m adding a revise of Uncle Konig to my write-load, my wierd western tale about how little i enjoyed living in Lousiana, as well as some shit about america and violence, same as everything else ive ever wrote. originally it was an overstuffed short story of the “i write short stories only, i swear” type; now its as long as it needs to be, or at least im convincing myself just a novella
also experimented, for the first time this week, with writing the markup for the interactive fiction of My Three Daughters. it’s a bigger chew than i imagined i was biting (or whatever), so maybe look out for smaller web-first projects as i build it up in parts? we’ll see
further:
- looking into short story subs again, wanna consitant rhythm
- i think i found an agent to submit The Girl to. need to get over my nerves, read their manuscript wish list, and judge with open eyes

i cant stop your memory (2025-31 and 32 weekly post)
limiting this weekly post to just my writing updates while also mostly working on one single new project is, in fact, quite boring. all i have to say for the last weeks is: I’ve been writing more on the Three Daughters piece (see long devlog in blog below). what’s the fun in that?
instead, for my loyal readers, see this: while fevered up this weekend, i started on a bookshelf page of all the books I’ve read or tried to read. i keep incredibly meticulous notes about them, its crazy. here’s some years of books, not built up enough to give you any additional info. they are, of course, in random order, re-run each time my blog is updated
till next time
[loud noises continue] (2025-30 weekly post)
