– WRITERLY PATHOS – I’ve reached another impasse with Urbantasm. Some of you are tired of hearing that sort of sentence, and it’s strange to say it, because I really didn’t visualize myself working on it this autumn at all.

FORT GREENE

Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are both neighborhoods immediately adjacent to the district where Jess and I live. Of the two, we have more extensive experience with Fort Greene, since we walk through the area whenever we take the subway.

– Still getting into the routine of regular posting. It’s difficult, because while I can access Blogger from work, there’s a firewall that keeps me from getting into Here Is No Why. Anywaze…
– Last Wednesday I gave Jeff Allen, my seminar instructor, the first chapter of Adrift on the Mainstream.

– It’s beautiful out. I’ll write more later. I hope you’re enjoying your week.

#1. After having fallen off the charts for the better half of a decade, Flint is back within reach of medals for violence and atrocity; it’s the second most violent city in the nation (population 100,000), ranked only after St.

Work went well; right now they have me hyperlinking the online database for The Dictionary of Chemistry.

THE NAVY YARD NEIGHBORHOOD

While neighborhood is emphatically important in New York City, boundaries and perceptions are not as strictly set as in Chicago. The city evolves at a much faster pace, with demographics sometimes leapfrogging each other.

– Weekends have been quiet. On Friday, Jess fixed us a delicious roast. On Saturday, I attended my workshop on “innovate fiction” and later, Jess and I went into Manhattan to pick up supplies for her costume. I missed church on Sunday, but we carved pumpkins and roasted the seeds.
