Patinated Ponies
This is the place where I put my favorite photos that I've taken, and thoughts that I've... thought. Rarely will I reblog, but if a photo or quote is so inspiring, it may find its way on here.
"Patina" is my favorite word, and I, um, really like ponies. I might be five, I might be twenty.

Lately
“But the frequency of [my story’s] rejection seems like a helpful thing to mention, given how many young and apprentice writers tear through BASS every year, as I once did, wondering how one’s work ends up so enshrined. One answer: Yell into a hole, and pretend as though you’re having a conversation. Yell long enough, and suddenly you might be.”
- Tom Bissell, in his Contributor’s Note for this year’s Best American Short Stories collection (story is called ‘A Bridge Under Water’).
I love these books, and I really love reading the authors’ notes. Lately I’ve been feeling really compelled to write, but always at times when I don’t have my computer. And the iphone’s too slow for my train of thought.
