i am excited

forgetting

already forgetting to post on this blog

i am not a good blogger

things i am working on, writing wise:

nothing

dang

i was asked to submit things to a journal that my former classmate colin is starting

i need to revise some things for it, thinking about reworking a series of sonnets i did that involved the idea of losing a family farm

i am sitting in the same coffeeshop again

i just put together the first 10 pages of my 'albatrosses' chapbook

someone should email me about publishing my chapbook (justinryancarter at gmail dot com)

i submitted two things in the past two days

the story 'In The Waffle House Bathroom' to 'screaming seahorse'
and the prosey poem thing 'I Help You Create An eHarmony Account' to 'metazen'

i had a piece published by 'unsure if i will allow my beard to grow for much longer'
it is an old piece
there is a link to it on the sidebar

i am sitting in a coffeeshop and old women are talking about perfume

i am also writing a story tentatively titled "In The Waffle House Bathroom"

the story ends in the Waffle House bathroom

i just heard one of the old women say the name of the main female character in my story and i felt confused by it

things i have done this week

i made a weird comic thing for nick flynn's class

i also made a weird sound piece for that same class, it was me and my friend josh reading a charles mee play while car noises played in the background

i wrote a review of gabby gabby's new poetry thing: http://banangolit.com/post/16935156285/review-the-black-dot-series-by-gabby-gabby

i worked some

i revised some old poems

i read parts of books by the following people: ariana reines, joey comeau, dennis cooper, lawrence ferlinghetti, sam pink, ellen kennedy

i read a lot of prose poems online by carol guess

i found a story i wrote right after i read SFAA by tao lin and realized my story sucked
