And so it is – The Secret

Benjamin Parzybok — April 23rd, 2010 — And so it is., secret

This blog has been the end result of a quite substantive number of searches recently for the keywords:

‘The Secret’ + ‘And so it is’

Apparently they’re going to make a movie out of the not-at-all-related-to-this-website book called ‘The Secret’, for which you may read my favorite review of the book here ‘The secret saved my life‘ by Ari Brouilette. My cursory plumbing of the internets to figure out why the phrase ‘and so it is’ is related to the movie turned up …well, this blog. So there you go. Something must be brewing, but apparently it’s still a secret.

This blog is likely the top result (hey!), because in a fit of guarded, privacy-hoarding introversion I named this blog ‘secret’, and quite coincidentally I have a category here called ‘And so it is‘. Which has a few nice things in it, if I do say so myself.

Actually, I’m quite sure I’m using the power of The Secret right now (and some basic keyword fixing) to acquire all traffic related to this search query right now! Because – well, let’s be honest – it makes me giggle. So there you go, there is a connection.

Just to really go the full length, here’s a picture of The Secret, and so it is. Which, after you’ve viewed it, will allow this search query, and this blog entry, to remain just as obscure and, I don’t know, secretive? As it was upon your arrival:

Secret - And so it is

New short story up at Strange Horizons + a works page

Benjamin Parzybok — April 19th, 2010 — writing

Hey, nifty, I’ve got a new short story up at Strange Horizons called Birds. It was really great to work with them.

Also, I put together a ‘works‘ page to keep track of published pieces and other projects. I think I forgot some, but they’ll come to me eventually.

Update: Ah, it appears that Superficial Flesh‘s current issue went live today as well. I have a short essay and photographs on Brazilian graffiti in this issue, and there’s an interview with me as well. Once you register at their site, you can access the entire issue.

Have a great Monday!
