J. Bradley melts off your face here, so go get melted.

Matthew Dexter has a nice little nugget up at pressboardpress. William Fedigan is also featured there.
NAP 1.4Β is out, and I don’t want to gush, because Chad told me not to. So I won’t, but just know that I want to. In it you’ll find M.G. Martin, Diana Salier, J. Bradley, Parker Tettleton, Howie Good, Will Henderson, and many, many more.
M.G. Martin also has a poem up at Fleeting.
Roald Dahl would have turned 95 this week! Go drink a High Life and read James and the Giant Peach to celebrate.

Here is an amazing resource for any writer: full of some pretty great stuff and, of course, annoying advertisements.

As always, have a wonderful weekend, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, read a book, brush your teeth, stay in school.
Great column! If you don’t read as a writer, you’re defeating yourself. The universe in your head is powered by all sorts of influences: reading, for a writer, has got to be the No1 source of input. Question is, would you bother reading a book written by someone who doesn’t write?
Thanks for sharing the link. So far I’ve made $.59 cents on a piece that took me more than a week to compile. Sorry if the ads are annoying, but they’re all I’ve got. π
No problem! Thanks for making it; it’s a really great source.
Thanks for the mention about my book. π
p.s. “Go drink a High Life and read James and the Giant Peach to celebrate.” made me LOL.
