Noble Pen Meeting

September 16th, 2010
Happy Chef, 1906 Blairs Ferry Rd NE, Cedar Rapids

You’re going to listen to *me*? To something that *I* said? Hell, most of the time I’m just talking out of my ass… or sticking my hand in it.
-Brody Bruce, Mallrats

Victories

I submitted Fangs for Nothing to the ICON Writers’ Workshop. They already accepted it, because they will take literally anything which comes in first. Well, okay, not literally anything. I don’t think they would have accepted naked pictures of Hugh Hefner.

Ciuin told stories at the New Bohemia Festival, including original stories. She got positive feedback from the audience, which we can reasonably assume were not recently release from a psychiatric institution.

The magazine which accepted Nick’s photograph came out, and as a special bonus, they printed his picture in invisible ink and didn’t tell him which page it was on.

News

A political science professor writes an article about academic writing which still has some interesting point

NPR says books are sold through word of mouth. Originally, I read that as word of moth, which sounds intriguing, but would probably not be too effective.
