I demand to be returned to your top three, you snob.

So: Cantab tomorrow, MFA Wednesday, Behan Session and Party at Derek's-friend-Deb's house in Wellesley on Saturday. Any and/or all of these of any interest to you, Sir Smirks-A-Lot?

Writers @ Edit Red





Apr 20 2007 1:05 PM

'City Smells' is a new literary project set up by the Edit Red Writing Community.

We are running three writing competitions, Flash Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry, all with the theme 'City Smells. The winners of each of these competitions will win $100. But more than this, we will take the best work from each competition and compile a paperback 'City Smells' anthology. The writers who make it into the 'City Smells' anthology will each receive free copies of the book and be paid a royalty in book sales.

To submit to these competition and stand a chance of being published in the 'City Smells' book you must be a member of Edit Red, as the submission process is automated. Joining Edit Red and entering these competitions is 100% free. If you make it into the book, we will pay royalties based on book sales.

Edit Red has existed for many years and was created and is still managed today by non-fiction author Alan Emmins, creative writing teacher Chris Lee Ramsden and literary reviewer Sean Merrigan.

If you are not already a member, we hope you will join and take part in this great literary event. Sign up here for free!

Regards
Alan, Sean and Chris

Last night=good times. Thanks, of course, for the smoke. It was really delightful to see you -- Hopefully we'll get to do that again soon but if not, pencil me in for May.
The Cat





Jan 21 2007 9:34 PM

And I'm going to agree and grudgingly put my absence from your top three to the back of my mind, to be stewed over at a better time. My schedule's got me on the jump for the next couple weeks -- can I advance schedule?
The Cat

what's nice about this picture is that I can now start bitching about how you've removed me from your top friends list since i've put you onto mine. it's your move, now, captain.

Dude, YOUR family keeps decades-old bottles of booze over the fridge? So does MY family! You truly are bred of mountain stock.

Make sure you come this weekend. And bring Joe, and whoever else you feel like. But make sure you're there. Mmmkay?
The Cat





May 13 2006 3:49 PM

again, thanks for having us out last night. it was an amazing time, and when I figure out how to angle for another invitation without making it look suspicious/officious/obnoxious, I'll inflict that on you as well.

AND: you're damn good at that flute, son. I was really impressed.
Katie





Mar 1 2006 5:29 PM

I'm totally roughing it out here.... I mean the closest Starbucks is a whole mile away! It's horrible! And the weather is perfect all the time! I don't know why I even stay here....

I'm glad your doing well! Let me know if your ever out here visiting!
