A little piece I wrote this morning. Predation.
The Unkown Portraits is available from Kozyndan’s website, now.
It seems as though I have done something else lately. But I can’t remember. This is a quiet, generative time.
I have a (very) short story in the new Kozyndan book, The Unknown Portraits. Their solo exhibition reception and book release will be on October 1 from 6-10 PM at the Magic Pony gallery in Toronto. If you are local you should go and tell me about it!
Also, the MP3 of my reading from Chelsea’s show the other night on KDVS is available if you click here. Chelsea also plays a heartbreaking version of “You Are My Sunshine” that I can’t get enough of. Over and over.
Chelsea Wolfe and I made a video of a short piece I wrote last month, Animus Dreams (you can download the text from the Writing section), just finished it up last night. Naomi from Agent Ribbons helped us out with the score. Pleased as punch about this, Chelsea did a fantastic job.

Ice water and lime, the stars fading out for this new dawn, song birds in the orange trees, no sleep no sleep no sleep but instead: a new short story: In the Borough of Queens.
I have been doing a lot of writing this past month rather than reading anything about typography, or any actual printing. It’s going well, as well as it can for the winter time. I’ve been meeting a bit with Ed Skoog, who is a writer in residence at the Hugo House here in Seattle. Our meetings have been very encouraging and productive and I’m thankful for the time he’s put into helping me revise older stories.
It’s been difficult to update this journal because there’s nothing to report when I’m intensely writing. I just hole up in my basement apartment and get a little weird and beg my sister to buy me pizza when I’m out of food stamps. I’m working hard on a novella that’s excruciatingly difficult to write (though I should quit saying that, the more I say it’s difficult the more difficult I make it!) and a project that I don’t even want to mention for fear of spoiling but I will say that I’m VERY excited about it.
Printing has not been as prolific as I would have liked this year. Far from it. It’s been difficult to find a studio here in Seattle. Printing more and printing better are serious New Year’s resolutions and this Hatch internship is a good way to start things off. I don’t own a computer so I hope I’m clever enough to find a library or something to access the Internet with while in Tennessee and update this journal while I’m there.
I am not dragging any of my books or prints with me for my month and a half of vagabondage. A route that includes California, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and probably Georgia in six weeks demands light luggage. So if you’ve been wanting to buy anything from the site NOW is the time. I won’t be able to mail any orders placed after December 12th until early February!
I have a story in the new issue of Blackbird. It’s a fantastic issue all around and I’m excited to be a part of it. You should read the whole damn thing.
