jhumpa lahiri fucking loves me.

PANK magazine reviewed CLONE.


i received a free copy of ellen kennedy's book SOMETIMES MY HEART PUSHES MY RIBS in the mail a few days ago. i read it. pretty good. will probably read it again.

CLONE is on goodreads. you can review it using stars to suggest how much you like it.

i dropped off the manuscript for FROWNS NEED FRIENDS TOO at black ocean the other day. i went to the address and it was an apartment. i thought it would be an office or some shit. so i stood out front of the apartment ringing the bell. eventually i just threw the manuscript (including free copy of CLONE) over the fence and onto the stairs. this dude walked by me and flashed an east-side symbol. i wanted to ask him to edit the manuscript but he walked away. here is a brief description of my status at the time i dropped off the manuscript:

body smell: bad enough to alienate the other people in the car who dropped me off. suggestions of killing myself were made.

eyes: ringed with big purple rings from getting no sleep

ability to slam dunk: still absent

stomach: feeling good from the waffles i had eaten

hair: at a stage of greasiness i have dubbed "just birthed"

hope: very low about getting published by black ocean but very high for the manuscript

i think i need to cut it down some more. i like it but at page seventy i go, "shit, still twenty more pages?" and then i skim the rest just to make myself feel like i read it so i don't hurt my feelings.

there should be a dogzplot interview up soon that i conducted with a lady who works at the bunny ranch in nevada.

also, i have a bunch of copies of CLONE now. you can email me and i will mail it to you for free.
