Anyone with a fiction editing background want to take a gander at my submission for a fellowship?

@RVoronaCote the deep sea is so terrifying.

Seeing The Odyssey also reminded me why the open ocean is none of my business.

So you could say that the Odyssey is about Matt Damon going to see about a girl.

if I were rich, I'd spend so much money spooking people by sending them gifts anonymously.

We don't talk nearly enough about how you can look at the wedding registries of complete strangers and ostensibly buy them gifts and confuse the shit out of them.

wait did something happen? Is this site good again? Haven't been here in a while.

@chris_hatler also is there a way to submit multiple at once?

@chris_hatler damn trying to think of a good Lost Arts pitch!!!

I am open to pitches for two esquire.com franchises: The Secret Lives of Men and The Lost Arts. If you are interested in pitching, please use the following link and read the instructions closely: forms.gle/McGCftKPLQ5SKR…

are other people in Brooklyn not able to connect to @Verizon wifi today?

@mmalkoff I snagged his business card from the writers guild and a bunch of other small random things. It was a good collection!

Got these today at SNL writer Herb Sargent's estate sale at his former brownstone on the Upper East Side. He was also Johnny Carson's 1st head writer.

My latest take. Shoutout to @Slate's team for keeping it a place for writers to be smart about dumb things. It feels like the old days of the internet where the brightest people you knew were investigating the stupidest shit you could think of and did it brilliantly.

HEY: Player and their primary partner date solo. No one’s thrilled about it, but it’s the only way they can maintain the appearance of a happy marriage that hasn’t been sexually satisfying in years. Still, it’s the suburbs, and people talk. mcsweeneys.net/articles/rules…

Writers, take note! The 2026 Oxbelly Retreat for fiction and screenwriting will be at Costa Navarino in Messinia, Greece from July 1 to 9, 2026. The deadline is January 14, 2026. There's no cost to apply and all expenses for fellows are covered. Application link in thread.

@karacpanzer @mcsweeneys thank you!

My @mcsweeneys' debut! Just in time for the second night of hannukah. My parents would be proud.

it's like recovering from a hangover without the regret but with the same amount of self-loathing (that's always though)

Can all those best of 2025 lists wait until I accomplish something?

somebody answer me

I don't want to come off as trying to get them to reconsider. I just like when people are nice to me.
