Looking Back at 2019

Every year, DeeAnn and I send holiday cards to friends and family. We used to print out a one-page newsletter to stick inside each card, which would include a handwritten note, but as our mailing list got longer the time…

Yes, I am doing NaNoWriMo again, and if you’re in the Portland, Oregon area you might see me at some write-ins! Otherwise: 11/8-11/10 Portland, OR – OryCon 41 at the Red Lion Hotel, Jantzen Beach: my schedule (and if you’re in…

AND THAT’S OKAY. ISN’T THAT RIGHT, THE DOUBLECLICKS? RIGHT. http://youtu.be/zCF_js2y0Ec I don’t have any big plans for my birthday this year—mostly because, honestly, it’ll be hard to top last year’s incredible awesomeness—but it’s been a really good year so far……

It’s now two months until OryCon 35, and DeeAnn and I are once again volunteering! We hope to see some of you lovely people at the con. (But not on Sunday. See below for details.) DeeAnn has been acting as…

One more excerpt from this year’s NaNoWriMo draft! I officially “won” on the 28th, but I’m going to one final write-in tonight to get a little farther along, and also to see my fellow Vancouver Wrimos one more time. Then…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Food for Thought”

Curtis Chen
November 23, 2012

More from this month’s NaNoWriMo draft. Eagle-eyed readers will note that the pictured food item is actually Korean, not Japanese. And one of my favorite quotations of all time*, from the late Lin Yutang: “What is patriotism but the love…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Bottoms Up”

Curtis Chen
November 16, 2012
0

More from this month’s NaNoWriMo draft. Also, it’s really a toss-up as to whether Wikipedia or Myths RETOLD is more factually accurate overall, but the latter sure is a lot more entertaining to read. Read “Bottoms Up” at 512 Words…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba”

Curtis Chen
November 9, 2012

Why a palindrome for today’s story title? Because this is my 215th 512 story, which makes the shortlink (below) palindromic as well! And yes, this is more from my current NaNoWriMo draft. It’s kind of a fun challenge to pick…

#NaNoWriMo has begun, so you’re likely to see a bunch of excerpts from my new novel draft over the next few weeks. This one’s a continuation of the story (and world) established in “Making Waves.” Also, have you seen Glengarry…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Interview Prep”

Curtis Chen
December 16, 2011
0

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
