Logomancers and Logodaedalists: April 2014

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Because we are all writers. Wednesday, April 9, 2014. My contributor's copy of the Spring 2014 edition of Witness. It looks great, and it reads great, and I'm pumped to have my story, "Orphans on the Moon," included in such a fine production. The issue's theme is Ghosts, and you can order your copy here. Thanks to all the hard work from everyone at Black Mountain Institute, and congrats to my fellow contributors, who have seen so much. The modern writer as witness, indeed! Thanks for stopping by! Creativ...

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: December 2012

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Because we are all writers. Saturday, December 22, 2012. Ray Bradbury is a Heap of Trash. I found these self-deprecating quotes. By famous authors pretty funny. It's refreshing to see that even the most successful writers struggle with their identity. The last one, Gary Shteyngart's book promo video, is especially good. Labels: Gary Shteyngart cant read.

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: Proficiency and the Results of Proficiency

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2014/08/proficiency-and-results-of-proficiency.html

Because we are all writers. Monday, August 4, 2014. Proficiency and the Results of Proficiency. What am I doing here? That last bit put me in mind of the law of reversed effort, which I was reading about in The Wisdom of Insecurity. By Alan Watts. In typical fashion, Watts didn't really explain this "law," but he seemed to take for granted that I would know what it is, and what I took it to mean is that the harder we try. Not just the words rolling out on the page, but also a feeling of peace and expansi...

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: Outsiders

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2014/03/outsiders.html

Because we are all writers. Monday, March 10, 2014. Hey everyone. I'm long overdue in announcing the publication of my conversation with Kate Blakinger. Working with Kate was an absolute treat, and I'd like to thank series editor Jason Lee Brown for his vision and drive to give us this platform. Amazing what you find when you start to look inside.

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: January 2013

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Because we are all writers. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. Shut Out in 2012. It's official. I went O-fer in 2012. What's that, he said? What would that even mean? No I've gone O-fer, as in no stories published or accepted for publication throughout 2012. Have I been submitting? Yes, though maybe not as aggressively as in previous years, and I did make a self conscious effort to try and step up to the the next tier of literary publications. The air, apparently, is pretty thin up there. And A Public Space.

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: Quote Garden

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/p/quote-garden.html

Because we are all writers. An art of any kind is a discipline, not only a craft- that too- but a discipline in the religious sense, in which the vigil of waiting, the creation of a receptive spiritual emptiness, and the denial of self all play their part. It's not the precious but the semiprecious one has to resist. Consider the actions of Te-shan, that ancient sage of the Tang dynasty. In years past, he had always regarded as priceless his scholarly written commentaries on the Diamond Sutra. What can w...

Logomancers and Logodaedalists: Now Who the Type Built to Last?

http://www.logomancersandlogodaedalists.com/2013/03/now-who-type-built-to-last.html

Because we are all writers. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Now Who the Type Built to Last? My good buddy Jesse Ziegler. Just introduced me to an awesome interview. With Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, sui generis hip-hop impressario and hurricane x-factor behind the inimitable and unstoppable music act The Roots. Some of you, unfortunately, will only recognize him as Jimmy Fallon's drummer, the guy with the big afro. The patriarch of the Ashtanga Yoga, often said, "Do your practice and all is coming.".
