He found his cube and drew a rough approximation of himself in it: a class 2 wizard with brown corduroy pants, a gray t-shirt and what appeared to be a short magic wand in his hand, or possibly it was a USB thumb drive containing all of, and the only copy of, the company’s source code for the last eighteen months.

Life as a couch groupie, reminiscent of the interminable days, months, and years between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, drawing the helmets of storm troopers on my graph paper in the back of the class room to pass the time, reading peripheral books and comics that follow loose tangential narrative threads, at least there were these things to hang on to. every day i come here to look for news about couch, developments around the cover design, upcoming book reading dates, discussions of word count statistics, debates about epigrams, how to start one’s next project when promoting this one, whether to capitilize or underline your acknowledgements……..i’m starving out here
yes criminy the capitalization debate.
Blows have been suffered, blood has been let.
I say CAPITALIZE!
Though they’ll have my head.
