Random Thoughts: April 2006

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Monday, April 24, 2006. Branding Excercises, or "Truth in Eating". So, I'm still high over Jim Atwell's column. In the Cooperstown Crier. I do PR in my day job, which means I read at least ten newspapers every day. Yet making time for my hometown weekly is a luxury in which I gladly partake. For example: Give me pate de fois gras. Another one I haven't tried yet, but wouldn't mind tasting: Sweetbreads. Tiny, bony, salty fish that someti...

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Friday, February 24, 2006. Location, Location, Location. Has a terrific post on his blog today. He talks about living in a "small town" of "50,000 people" in Montana. I know all this because I grew up in Cooperstown, population, just over 2,000. Here's the kicker: My writing is all about small towns. Well, let me explain a little. My second novel starts in a setting where I've never been and never hope to be: state prison. But it mo...

Random Thoughts: July 2006

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Monday, July 24, 2006. So I'm taking (good-natured) fire over on Kelly Malloy. S blog because I hate yard work and she loves it. If I ever write a manifesto, "I hate yard work" will be ahead of "I hate Republicans," but behind "I love Bruce Springsteen.". Let me put it into perspective: I'd rather clean the bathroom. Twice. And do the laundry. Then the dishes (but don't mention that part to the Saint). Oh, yeah. We had more Sangria&...

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Thursday, May 25, 2006. Hey, everybody, have a happy and safe weekend, with lots of barbecues. Has a series of wonderful posts to remind me what the weekend really means. To Lt Ed Novak in the Undisclosed Location, I'm thinking of you, right now. I should paraphrase the Boss. Maybe mess around with his lyrics:. Drivin' in to Otsego County,. Me and Ed on the Fourth of July. Labels: Family and Friends. Posted by Adam Hurtubise at 10:36 PM.

Random Thoughts: December 2005

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Saturday, December 31, 2005. I don't make resolutions. Well, that's not entirely true. Mostly, I've stopped making them. In 2003, I resolved to join a gym and to sign with a top literary agent. I joined the gym on January 3 (about 5 days after I made the resolution), and missed my self-imposed signing deadline by less than a month. Close enough for me. I'm still going to the gym, by the way. I don't need any more resolutions. 7 I made a...

Now has a partial transcript of the Alito hearings from the. Backstreets links to the full transcript, by the way. Here's the cut and paste:. ALITO V. THE CRUSHING HAND OF FATE.

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Has a terrific new online literary journal called The Picolata Review. Go check it out. Pay particular attention to Jamie Ford. S stunning short story, entitled I am Chinese. I can't link to it directly, but click on The Picolata Review site and scroll down. Mark's done a wonderful job, and Jamie's piece is brilliant. Then get back to work. I hope you find the autopilot. Posted by Adam Hurtubise at 9:00 PM. It's ...

Random Thoughts: March 2006

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Had a great post the other day, asking what we listen to when we blog. It appealed to me because I often listen while I write, by necessity, not by choice. Whether I'm listening for research or pleasure, however, the culprits remain the same: Springsteen, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. Sometimes, as I've previously posted, I need to reveal my inner badass. Instead of listening to hard rock, that's w...Since...
