I have rekindled an old blog -- "Mountain Standard" -- over at blogspot.

It is an "Albuquerque Word Repository (Feat. Still Life, Bird-Life, Death, Dog-Bears, Voices, Landforms, Wolves, Mirages, Winds That May Exist, Winds That Don't Exist, Red Spires, Yellow Dirt, Black Flags, Truck Stops, Tacos, Dust)".

I plan to upload writing excerpts and musings on a semi-regular basis. It is a dusty plan with obscure motive, which is more than could be said of my other blog attempts.

I've been offered a real job

4/28/2016

My goal was to publish a book or to become an assistant professor of English by the time I was 40. The former is a work in progress. As for the latter,  I've just been offered a position at UNM-Valencia as assistant professor of English. After a couple decades of slogging through universities and low-paying odd jobs, this is an incredible relief.

2016 thus far: Novel-in-progress & 290 song mega-album

2/23/2016

0 Comments

 

This year has been crazy. Like busy. Teaching three classes at UNM-Valencia, eating quinoa, bribing roadrunners, enduring 75 degree winter weather.

And then there are the projects.

The first one, a carry-over from last year, is this novel-in-progress. It is set in Tucson, naturally, and Mexico, though Nicaragua is trying to bore its way in. Damn thing's going slow. Too slow. But I can't let the bad thoughts get to me. What I gotta do is keep writing. Difficult with all this quinoa to eat. . .

I'm also writing & recording 290 songs for a mega-album non-cleverly (and tentatively) titled "270 + 20." This averages out to three song every four days, which is fucking crazy.  The 11 volume, 7-hour record will be released on bandcamp in Feb 2017. For all four of you who intend to buy it, a preemptive tip of the hat.

One more thing. Washington Square Review recently made available online all of Issue 36, which includes my story "Fire Complex." Check it out here.  

That's a wrap.

This week, I was pleased to learn that I won the 2015 Fiction Prize sponsored by Washington Square Review, a fine journal based in NYU's graduate creative writing program. Thanks to WSR! Also: thanks to Jacinda Townsend, author of Saint Monkey, for selecting my story out of a pool of five finalists. I am relieved, a bit confused, and very excited to have won a thing.

    Do I post blog entries? Rarely. But I'll try to put something up every once in a while. My true blog can be found at Mountain Standard.
