The Tangential: How I Would Make Love to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

  1. Put on a little light jazz, pop a few Diet Cokes in the ice bucket, remove all my clothing except a “Teach Me How to Bucky” T-shirt, and wait for him to enter the room. I’ve left an extra card key at the front desk of my Motel 6 outside Milwaukee.

Evolve

I wrote this facebook status in a emotional state of joy (at seeing pictures of a friend’s wedding) and anger (at people against such pictures and weddings):

I just looked through the facebook album of one of my friend’s weddings (she just got married last month). She was gorgeous, her bride was gorgeous, and all the guests were happy and beautiful. And to all the people who don’t believe in same sex marriages or that they will ruin “traditional” marriage (whatever that is), I say to you… well, I say something that I would not say on facebook, but it begins with F and is four letters long. But I can say something that doesn’t need censoring: EVOLVE!

Public Writing

I’m a member of Fictionaut, an social network for writers to share their work—a draft or finished, published, or whatnot—and to join discussions. I never felt comfortable posting stuff on Fictionaut for all to see because I’m usually trying to place my work, so most of the work I have there are reprints of stuff I published long ago. What I have decided to do instead of posting work I’m trying to place is to use the network to write. That is, instead of starting a piece in my word processor and bringing it over, I type right into the space Fictionaut supplies. The first attempt is okay, and I don’t think it worked out too well for a finished piece, but it’s not. It’s a work in progress. A kind of study. I believe if I do this at least twice a week, I may be more prolific with my writing in general—online and offline. We’ll see.

In other news, I’m still running an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for Bread Loaf! If you can contribute even a dollar, I will be eternally thankful!

Feeling Tomish this night. Had this unexpected song in my head. Out of all songs, this is not my favorite, but it’s sweet.
