More from this year’s NaNoWriMo draft, because my capacity for laziness is great. And no, this conversation is not as autobiographical as you might imagine. Read “Interview Prep” at 512 Words or Fewer

Friday Flash Fiction: “Police Duality”
It occurred to me this week that I haven’t yet exercised my laziness and excerpted any part of my NaNoWriMo output from this year as a 512. So, here you go! (This bit is not particularly skiffy, but rest assured,…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Parents Just Don’t Understand”
Yes, I am, in fact, writing my own goddamn fanfic. Because who the hell else is going to do it? Also note that I would totally have used this picture for the illustration, if it had been properly CC-licensed. (I…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Runaways”
I can neither confirm nor deny that this scene was inspired or influenced by a mash-up of The Matrix and Hanna. (Wow, that sentence had a lot of unnecessary words. Have I mentioned I’m doing NaNoWriMo?) Read “Runaways” at 512…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Just Another Fish Story”
One hundred years ago, Edith Wharton’s novel Ethan Frome was published. The first line of that novel, now in the public domain, is the same as the first line of this week’s story. I was inspired to recycle it by…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Inheritance”
If it weren’t for weird, disjointed dreams, I might not get half the ideas that end up becoming 512s. This one was more textual than visual, but the latter might figure more in a follow-up, in which Eddie Jr. has…

Why, yes, as a matter of fact, DeeAnn and I are going on JoCo Cruise Crazy II! Thanks to Corby, Beth, Sean, Crissy, Taylor, Maria, Kate, Molly, Blue, Marian, and all the others who prodded us into joining the nerd…
Friday Flash Fiction: “Unanswered Questions”
This week’s story was inspired in part by Breakin’ It Down with Catherine Reitman and the Occupy Oakland clusterfuck. You might not think those two things go together, but they are both Halloween-thematic: Ms. Reitman is the daughter of the…
Friday Flash Fiction: “A Minor Inconvenience”
The Twilight Zone has much to answer for. (See also: “People Are Alike All Over.”) Read “A Minor Inconvenience” at 512 Words or Fewer
Friday Flash Fiction: “Erratic Chemistry”
Inspired in part by Breaking Bad, and my wife’s frequent exhortations for detractors to fellate her metaphorical phallus (which you may have heard on the SnoutCast). Also, I know this isn’t really a genre piece, but hey, did I mention…
