Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Curtis Chen
November 29, 2016

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my post-election ennui. Now I’m doing something about it. Today is #GivingTuesday, and regardless of how you feel about the proliferation of Thanksgiving holiday adjuncts (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday,…

We Can Be Heroes

Hello. This is my post-terrible-election blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I’ve had a lot of thoughts and feelings over the past week. I haven’t been very productive, writing-wise. But here, I think, is some…

I Have Set a Dangerous Precedent

I missed blogging last Wednesday because I was driving to a writers’ retreat, but nobody complained. (Maybe you were all distracted by the awesome new Puzzled Pint blog?) I will continue to make my best effort to blog weekly, but…

I Knew Jay Lake

And now he’s gone forever. Photo by Waterloo Productions I didn’t know Jay very well, but I did have the privilege of spending some time with him over the past few years—in local “co-working” writing groups, at a few different…

I Hate the Word “Tribe”

Curtis Chen
January 22, 2014

Just to be clear: this is not a rant against Seth Godin. I actually think he’s got some pretty great ideas about leadership, as shown in his TED talk from 2009 (worth watching for the vintage Kindle 1 prop, if…

I Miss My Friends

Curtis Chen

Last year, two of my friends took their own lives. I was completely blindsided both times. Of course, no one should ever expect anybody they know to kill themselves, but I had not even an inkling that either of these…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Who Died?”

Read “Who Died?” at 512 Words or Fewer I like to imagine Jeremy Irons performing this particular monologue. YMMV. And now, apropos of nothing, some a cappella: http://youtu.be/tJT4L7HGKzQ It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I guess I’m still processing…

Read “Down to Earth” at 512 Words or Fewer I freely admit that this week’s story was inspired in part by the Gravity trailer: http://youtu.be/ufsrgE0BYf0 I’m sure I was also influenced by the death of my friend Matthew Schuler. It’s…

Before you broadcast news based on unconfirmed, unofficial reports, ask yourself W.W.U.D.: “What Would Uhura Do?” Read “Hailing Frequency” at 512 Words or Fewer

Friday Flash Fiction: “Now and Later”

Curtis Chen

For the record: Guns don’t murder people. Fucked-up assholes murder people, and they don’t need guns to do it. But firearms do carry a lot of psychic freight. Read “Now and Later” at 512 Words or Fewer
