Writers enjoy solitude, sure. But even a cat has to sniff around in a different bag every once-in-a-while. Terrible metaphor aside, stop #9 on the Blog Orgy Tour is at Richard Thomas’s What Does Not Kill Me blog, where I discuss what a writer’s physical setting can do for his work.
See all the other Blog Orgy Tour dates, here. And as always, if you’d like to have me drop by, just let me know. Operators are standing by.
Today, the wind takes me to xTx’s blog, Nothing to Say, where I say precisely that. Except I use words to do so.
The post is a play on the title of xTx’s chapbook, Nobody Trusts a Black Magician, which I suggest you read. After you read my guest post, of course. And, of course (x2), after you read my chapbook, Charactered Pieces: stories.
See the rest of my stops and dates at the Blog Orgy Tour page. And definitely spread the word of my many virtual miles. If you ask nice, I might just do a stop at your blog, too (you actually don’t have to ask nice…I’ll do it).
Now, through the end of the year January 16th, every order of the print version of Charactered Pieces will include a free back issue of a literary journal (orders direct from the publisher only; no Amazon.com orders for this deal). I’ll even let you pick which one you’d like (just put the title in the COMMENTS/SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS section of the PayPal checkout). The list is below (it’s a long one; study it carefully). Contact me if you want to know the content of a specific issue.
Keep in mind that the cover price for most of these journals is well above the $6 for Charactered Pieces. Just try to make a bad deal out of that. One way, I guess, would be to put all of the money you save into an emergency cash loan. But really, don’t do that.
I know that some of you out there have considered purchasing a literary journal in the past, but because it’s hard to part with money when the exact acquisition is questionable, you don’t. Here’s a chance to make that leap a bit easier.

Today, I stop at the lovely Simon West-Bulford’s blog to talk about the importance of reading outside your comfort zone. Click here to take in the genius (“genius” is German for “post,” right?). Also, you may have to manually search the site for this post (there is no permalink available).

And please, spread the love via Twitter, Facebook, or by any other means. Spread the love like a herpes outbreak.
Jason at What to Wear During an Orange Alert was kind enough to have me splash my opinions all over his Friday Watch List column. Groupies beware: the rockstar you’ve come to love might have some tastes that will force you to reevaluate your infatuation with me. And if this list doesn’t do it, my b.o probably will.
