"Ode to the Double-Crossed Lackey in 'Thunderball" -- Tara Laskowski
This is getting some attention: Why NewPages won't review anonymous publications.
I've probably linked it before, but I'm linking it again: Significant Objects.
The value of the Bechdel test.I have to agree...Street Fighter is not even close.
A mass market blog/book deal that I think is kinda cool.
The Millions: The Best Fiction of the Millenium (So Far).
Dani Shapiro on being a good reader. Also, on writer's block.
A bunch of interesting links at LitKicks, including Jim Carroll's funeral card, which I think most Catholics would refer to as a mass card (and yes, there was a mass). Thanks to the illustration on the card, I fell down a Google rabbit hole and learned/was reminded that St. Francis of Assisi received the stigmata.
A sentence that isn't quite right, but I'm keeping it anyway (and I liked the book too): Laura Ellen Scott on A Jello Horse.
It was ten years afterward, for me. These days, I don't think the process ever ends...unless you elect to stop it.
Rough draft of first 60 pages of new Stephen King, dusted off twice in the last 30+ years. (via)

Lily Hoang on pretense."God is popular" -- Rachel B. Glaser

I'm not sure I've ever written anything that would pass the Bechdel test, but that's not for the same reasons the test implies.
Makes it very tempting for a prompt...

It's "gauge", Mr. King. "GAUGE".

It's fresh! for now.
AJH is a sweet ride, plus the link truncates as "just-finished-consuming-matthew"
