Making a pig of myself - (USA)
It's been a while since I've been able to advise you of the publication of any new poems. There are a couple of reasons for this: a) I've been lax about sending stuff out and b) those that have been out just take so long to come back.So I made a dent in my submissions a week ago and sent out thirteen batches, two of which (much to my great surprise), came back right away; one was a rejection and one was an acceptance and I can't complain about those odds.I don't know whether the short story maga

Celebrate what you want more of! - (USA)
There has been a huge rise of Gratitude in my life this week. The motto of success I like to go by is Celebrate what you want more of. Therefore be so incredibly grateful for what you enjoy and receive and you will receive more of it. Whether you believe you are calling it to yourself or maybe you are just raising your high vibes and making yourself happier and more confident in rejoicing for the things you receive. Either way life isn't too terribly long and because you never know when you wil

10 Really Great Sites For Magazine Scans - (USA)
A common request among torrenters is for a private tracker that caters to magazine scans and torrents. While the idea would likely be a raving success, to the best of our knowledge, nary a one exists. Even the top eLearning trackers carry just a tiny iota of magazine-related content (BitMe.org carries a paltry 176 mag-related torrents) and even mega-tracker Demonoid with just 658 doesn’t fair much better. Until someone comes out with a magazine-only tracker, mag freaks will have to settle for so

Frequently Asked Questions - (USA)
I love hearing from people. You know how much I love getting blog comments (not that I'm a big responder, but I appreciate reading them all the same). I also love when people drop me a line by e-mail (that's getitripeATgmail.com) to say they've been reading or cooking with the book and what their experience has been. I have been finding though that many people have the same questions, and along with feeling like a broken record, I'm not to jazzed about all the typing. So in comes an FAQ post

Review: On Spec: The Canadian Magazine of the Fantastic. #74 - Fall 2008, #75 - Winter 2008, #76 - S - (USA)
Lovers of speculative fiction would do well to reflect from time to time on the important contribution of semi-pro magazines towards developing talented authors. Given that the professional zines are more inclined to publish big names than take a punt on an unknown, especially in difficult times, it is the lot of the semi-pro and amateur press to nurture young writers. It’s rare for a writer to appear fully formed on the publishing scene; most have cut their teeth in the small press. In Austral

Bloke in Media – Benjamin Law - (USA)
I had the pleasure of sitting on a Walkley Student Industry Day panel with Benjamin Law last week, when we offered up all sorts of advice to aspiring freelance journalists, like "don't do it!" and "get a day job!". Jokes aside, I was pleased to find Law in person is every bit like Law on the written page – even his tardiness, emphatic apologies and flannelette shirt and skinny jeans ensemble sounded true. He's extremely articulate, self-deprecating, passionate about his craft and accomplished f

Travel Memoirs - September 27, 2008: Urban Adventures in San Francisco - (USA)
This day was the first time that I did my laundry at this place. I got up early enough to do three loads of wash from the first week in Santa Barbara, and I needed clean clothes for the next nine days. While my clothes were being washed, I went outside for a little morning walk, and found these footprints. They looked like someone tried to patch them up after someone walked on the wet cement. At end of one street, I encountered this interesting sign which gave the name of the walkway/ bicycle

Working with good friends and new ones in a large studio right smack in the middle of NJ, that's what..

Reheated Cabbage - (USA)
Irvine Welsh is in a class of his own. Whatever the flaws of his books, they have a seething life in them that rivets attention and an inventiveness with story and language that continually amuses and amazes. The elaborate choreography of his predators and victims as they circle each other through the bars, offices and ‘fitba’ terraces of Edinburgh seems powered by inexhaustibly rich reserves of desire, rage, guilt and scabrous humour. - James Lasdun , on The Bedroom Secrets of the Master C

The State of DIY: An Interview with Todd Brooks of the Pendu Organization - (USA)
Record Tables at Eye and Ear If you look at the life cycle of any 'scene'--Hippies in San Francisco, Krautrock in Cologne, Punk in D.C.--their rise is always met with a climax. In the aftermath they usually remain vital. The media just chooses to turn their heads to something 'newer'--to another corner of the country waiting to be excavated. I don't mean to overly romanticize this phenomena. But, I think over the last decade New York (and Brooklyn in particular) has received its generous hel

Hey Cleveland! Here are the details for Record Store Day at Music Saves + Black Sabbath vinyl detai - (USA)
I made my way over to Music Saves on Thursday night to pick up a couple of things: They had ordered Ready For The Flood per my request, the newish album from principal Jayhawks members Mark Olson and Gary Louris. Ready For The Flood is the first new studio album from the duo since Olson’s 1995 departure from the ‘Hawks, and was produced by Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes. The album was released overseas late last year and finally got a U.S. release earlier this year via New West Rec

Zippy Pronoia as an antidote to a paranoid age - (USA)
Zippie Zippie is a term used to describe a person who does something for nothing, i.e. zip. Any supporter of free culture, free food, free books, free software is a zippie. Zippies reached international prominence during the American 1972 Democratic National Convention and 1972 Republican National Convention, held in Miami Beach, Florida, when the term was silk-screened on t-shirts and worn by counter-culture activists and groups working to end the US involvement in the Vietnam War.

Writing Roots: People First - (USA)
By Christina Katz I credit Bertrand Goldberg for helping me learn that writing is about people, not words. Bertrand Goldberg (1913-1997) remains an icon in American architecture even after his death. He understood that form should follow function in the most humanitarian way. He is best known for designing Marina City, a building complex that soars in two gigantic, corn-cob-shaped cylinders above the Chicago River and has been featured in movies including Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Bl
