Super Arrow

Super Arrow was a new website design. It looks really good.

Super Arrow published a pretty long piece of mine in their 1st issue.

Super Arrow is about to publish issue 3.

Super Arrow accepts submissions.

Super Arrow hosted a conversation with some people.

The Corduroy Mtn. now has "Awesome dream enhancer pillow(s)" available!

Pilot Books in Seattle needs our help, here.

Super Arrow is open for submissions.

I like Amanda Goldblatt. You can buy her book from The Cupboard for $5.

The Mighty Arrow

Super Arrow issue 2 is now live, here. It is massive with: Colin Bassett, Barron T. Byrnes, Chris Dennis, Scott Ogilvie, Micah Bateman, Amy David, Phil Estes, Eileen G'Sell, MC Hyland, Becca Klaver, Colby Somerville, Raven Francis, & Angela Zammarelli.

There's also a conversation between Jaffa Aharonov, Joe Collins, Roxane Gay, Maggie Ginestra, Kyle Winkler, & myself about creative communities.

Super Arrow is awesome.

My book is coming along. I've spent the weekend looking at proofs. It's going to look great.


I live in a sand pit, metaphorically.

SuperArrow is having a release party tomorrow at Stirrup Pants. Some of the contributors will be reading. Some other people might be doing other things too. Food? Drinks? Maybe, I don't know, but probably. I won't be there. I don't live near St. Louis, Missouri, but if I did I would go. You should go if you can. I think that the first issue comes out tomorrow, or sometime close to that.

+Interview: Blake Butler is now up at Writers' Bloc.net, thanks Vaughan. Thanks Blake.

+Good news: Super Arrow is about to fly high, October 30th is the debut issue. They're having a launch party Friday, October 30, 2009 - 8PM at Stirrup Pants (Your Saturday Chapbook Shop) 2122 Cherokee Street, St. Louis, Missouri. If you're in the area you should check it out. They're having readings and music and other things too.

+Issue 22 of the BluePrintReview is up, it's an interesting issue, all of the stories, images and poems are reprints.

1) Shane Jones mentioned Museum of Fucked by David Peak (Warm Milk Press's first book) in his recent blog post, as a book he's looking forward to. Shane read an earlier version of David's manuscript and was kind enough to provide a blurb for it, thanks Shane

We're very excited about printing David's story up and getting it into people's hands.

Submissions for the online journal, Spilt Milk, are open (I know I sound like a broken record) warmmilkpress@yahoo.com

The Warm Milk Printing Press website will probably launch late November early December.

2) J.A. Tyler did an interview with The Faster Times. It's a great interview. Tyler mentioned Warm Milk Press and David's book, thanks J.A.

3) I'm very excited about Super Arrow. I've been excited about Super Arrow for months now. I first read about them on Shane Jones blog sometime back in July. Amanda Goldblatt is the founder/ editor (here's a story she wrote).

Story:
Super Arrow's submission guidelines allow up to 12,000 words, so I sent Amanda about 12,000 words from Flowing in the Gossamer Fold. I thought: What the hell, why now? I've been checking duotrope almost everyday in anticipation of when I could maybe expect a response (I don't always do this I swear, but duotrope is crack).

So, the other day I received the response, my heart raced a little. Among other things Amanda said that she loved the work and that my "writing is strange and intuitive and lush," this made me smile, thanks Amanda.

Since the piece I sent her was very close to 12,000 words, and was an excerpt, she asked me if I could further excerpt the submission into 2 or 3 smaller excerpts. Which I understood and thought was a good idea.

I sent back about 3,000 words of what is my favorite excerpt from Flowing in the Gossamer Fold. It's the most complete excerpt too. What I mean is, I'm finished with the novella, and this excerpt is part of that. (I have not heard back about this re-excerpted excerpt yet, but I hope it works out fine)

I don't think I'm going to be submitting anymore of it as parts.

4) I'm sick.
