Get ready, Shorties. The boys just recorded the next episode on Water Liars by Barry Hannah. Get ready to hear Russell and Brian involuntarily pronounce it "Hanner," like God intended. nytimes.com/2010/12/26/boo…

Something to keep in mind as we get ready for our episode on Barry Hannah’s “Water Liars.”

A reminder from @KAWebb_: Keep the South's name outta your mouth. "Stereotyping Southerners reduces our understanding of the South to a crude representation that is both sociologically false and imaginatively dead." scalawagmagazine.org/2019/07/alabam…



This young man gets it.

The kids are gonna be alright.

Scenes from a Saturday Night — 10 wild (drunk/stoned) teenagers gathered around my Little Free Library, reading children’s books.



We know folks get rejections—even crushing rejections—every day, but this Saturday’s feed has turned out some real-deal successes, acceptances, book deals, and stay-tuneds in the #WritingCommunity. Stay at it, shorties!
