Pondering summer's end linkbucket

The Quarterly Conversation has a new issue. Looking forward to diving in. Also in my online new issue TBR pile: Storyglossia.

Kelly Spitzer profiles Rusty Barnes. I really enjoy her series a lot. It's like a literary trunk show.

As a matter of fact, I'm using the Internet to procrastinate right now.

This feature breaks a personal rule I have...which means, of course, I love the idea. John Klima has the first installment.

Chad Simpson on flash fiction. (via)

I've always hated stuff like this, too. When I was younger, it totally set me up for an inferiority complex. Now it's about outside perception. Dan can get his crappy story in the New Yorker and you can't?

And finally...the song currently stuck in my head.

Inferiority complex! What a good point. Now I hate that whole story line even more. Thanks for articulating it better than I could.
