I've accidentally started a novel. I didn't mean to, but when I added one line, it seemed inevitable. I need to consider my options . . . Mar 3, 2021 at 5:22 PM

I wish Junot Diaz and Nathan Ballingrud would write more. They would be leading the list but they don't have much volume. I have no idea why. They need more novels. I wish they'd put one out every year.
I plan on reading everything by Karen Russel and Kevin Wilson. I like their strange humor.
Dan Simmons is a genius.
I'm also a fan of John Barth, John Updike, Abe Kobo (depends on translation), Borges, Stephen Graham Jones, Paolo Bacigalupi.

I write a lot and like to edit too. I've been published many times. There's about 600,000 words worth of my short stories out there, but I have to count reprints and best-of's to get the number up so high, so maybe that's an exaggeration somewhat. (haha) Lately it's been easier for me to get pro sales. I guess I've reached an epiphany of sorts about what publishers want.
I think I finally have enough experience to pull off novels. I'm hoping to make a name for myself, because let's face it, short stories aren't that visible in the marketplace.
I try not to be too specific about my name and publications because I don't want to sabotage myself on a forum. We live in a very dangerous age.
I believe in total freedom of story.

These days my avatar is Shiina Ringo. I love that her music is all her own. She's a compositional genius and is my favorite musician of recent years. I listen to her every day.
