( This picture is from Carol's house in San Francisco, where even the ceilings have paintings on them.) I miss San Francisco, and am looking forward to going back to live there, and seeing friends and family one day. But it's beautiful here in rural Alabama, where I can be alone (other than puppies) along a long trail along the creek, and where everything outside seems to be giving fruit or flower.

The FlameFlower Experimental Short Story Contest has ended, with a story I'm proud to say has won, by Juan C. Mendizabaland it will be posted when he writes his commentary. 

My short story was chosen as the lastest Challenge winner at Lori Moritz's PunkPen. See my story at the site, with a powerful illustration by Hanz Moritz, HERE. Maybe try your hand at the next Challenge, and kick around the site. There are various discussions started for writers, and Lori is proficient at experimentation, herself.

One of my most thematically daring short stories, "Breaking the Seal," was accepted by Gone Lawn, which is expanding into a magazine, starting in August. Gone Lawn is a great site for anyone interested in Experimental Writing, a resource something like this one.

I was pleased to be contacted by Ariel  Kalinowski about Experimental writing, and would like to draw your attention to the workshop in New York City focused on experiental, politically aware poetic speculative fiction. See and connect with the Invisible City Prose GROUP.
