Tried to buy Silksong day 1. Servers down. Tried again later. No luck. Next day: planned to get gas after work. Card was declined. Didn't have cash and light was on. Turns out, my bank flagged my attempted purchases as fraudulent. Silksong almost made me hitchhike.

A lot of my undergrad creative writing students--a lot of them first-time writers-- turned in stories about saying goodbye to a loved one or remembering someone who died. Maybe this implies that offering creative assignments more often can be therapeutic. I don't know.

In a contemporary literature course I'm teaching this semester, I had my students find a literary magazine, discuss it, and review something that had been published there. I've done this in class before, but this year I've learned about a lot of cool places I've never heard about including...

Checking the mail today, my neighbor called me over. "Want to see my oyster shucking knives?"
"Yeah, let's see them," I said.
If anyone has questions, I'll relay them to my neighbor.

I teach from a section or two out of Horror in Architecture every semester. I get to say things like "your story is a room with vestigial limbs, arachnid bodies" when they ask why we're reading from an architecture book in a creative writing class
