I was lucky enough to find 2/3 of Rick's Driftless trilogy here in Atlanta back when he first started Corona/Samizdat Press. A great literary presence that has shaped many readers and writers alike. Talk soon, my friend @erdosain382

Reading for Rick- The Lift by Dimitrij Kralj
A manic and engaging thought-experiment set to be read in one sitting. As readers, we know time has no meaning in our relationship with the author. It's NOW. When the words, activities, even the characters are experienced by our consciousness, it is now that it happens. Fun? Yes. Scary? Depends on how much you think into it 😝
Fans of Danielewski's Only Revolutions will appreciate what is done here so succinctly.
Lifting you up, Rick @erdosain382
Talk soon

It’s been a fun spring hanging out with clown, comics, geniuses, writers and idiots

I repainted my apartment, learned to sail, took my buddy to his first baseball game, played bagpipes at a funeral, and clowned around

Lots of walking

A year ago today my book 'The Garden' was published by the fantastic @athinsliceofanxiety. In many ways it has been the most surreal and brilliant year of my life not only because the book was released but because many readers welcomed it with open arms. The praise for the book has been beyond anything I could have ever hoped for and I wake up every day feeling thankful for everyone that has read it, posted about it and told their friends to have a look at it. I myself have mixed feelings about the novel - I love the characters and the world I so carefully researched in order to bring to life. Even the story is something I have a deep affection for. My issues stem more broadly from the way it's written, which I think is overwrought at times and something I'm trying to fix on future projects.

There really are too many people to thank. @sherdstube was the first one to recommend the novel to people, which in turn inspired Kevin from hvbooknerd, Jonathan Golding to pick it up and say wonderful things about it. @metafictional.meathead has been a staunch supporter in spreading the word when it comes to this book and for that I will be forever grateful. As I said, there are too many people to thank and so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's ever posted about the book, read it, bought it, or even just vaguely perused the Amazon page. I'm so grateful to all of you.

I also want to mention another huge aspect I'm grateful for, and one I wasn't necessarily expecting, and that's the other authors I've met and connected with. @jack_is_moody I'm very happy to call a friend, @gbk7288 and I have exchanged words of encouragement when it comes to writing and I've found it immensely helpful. Again, too many others to name but you're all awesome.

To end this off, I want to say that I don't know if I'll ever be published by a large publisher. I don't even know if I want to be. I think indie presses are where all the interesting stuff is happening at the moment so it's imperative we support them so they can allow the interesting work to keep flowing.

Thank you all again, it's been a wild year. I'll be updating people soon on my latest projects so stay tuned.

In early 2020, @danielbackerauthor and I began developing a super short form animated series, 𝘊𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘖𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘦, centered around the personal diary of Nic Cage and narrated by the man himself. It was going to be introspective and irreverent, combining elements of Cage’s personal life, his musings, struggles, relationships, and characters, with some fantastical visions peppered in for a bit of added spice. We wanted to give him humanity beyond the memes.

However, as with all great ideas, Big Hollywood swooped in and stole our thunder as we were knee deep in developing an animatic. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 was released, thus rendering this concept totally redundant.

We had shelved this idea indefinitely, but figured why not share it with you all. Here’s our pilot animatic “Outside” ft. Daniel Backer as Cage and drawings by moi 🖤
