They went on. The purple ahead turned into navy and then black. The lights on the side of the road became less and less frequent until they were gone. This was the middle of nowhere, the heart of America. The absence of anything at all created a darkness that can only be found in the most rural parts of the country. She checked the clock—just after 9 p.m. The snow had formed into piles on...

“‘I don’t need food to impress, man,’ boasts the cocky...”
– Chris Klein
Before we all all rile sympathy for Chris Klein re: that horrendous leaked audition video, can we please not forget that he is a massive douche? Like, massive. Like, the biggest tool ever. Like, really.

She presses her head back against the seat of the small car and sighs and smiles. The air smells like the fresh bloom of spring. Her hands are cold. Her hands are always cold. She cups the paper coffee in her hand and attempts to gather the warmth. Sometimes she feels like a stone. She must get warmth from the outside to retain any semblance of life.
Cold hands, warm heart—that’s what...

“Some people view themselves as editors though nobody has supplied them with that...”
– Tess Lynch
Absolute truth for editors and for anyone offering advice or feedback on anyone else’s writing; you should read this entire thing.

I was just about to reblog this excerpt but then one of my favorite writers had to go and reblog the exact quote from one of my other...

I should get a pedicure. The weather is going to warm up this weekend and I’m going to probably wear sandals. I am so bad at manicuring my nails. I am a big picture person, so I concentrate on clothes instead of accessories, on hair and makeup instead of nails. But people do notice nails, I know. I am so bad at that. It makes me feel like a bad woman, like I’m unfeminine or something. My mom is...

I WISH I’D STAYED, TOO
by Chad P.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. My grandfather has an awful disease that, over the course of the past eight years, has taken away most everything from him, including his memories. He now lives in a…
Fucking amazing. Go read this.

You guys. You guys. You GUYS. YOU GUYS.
It’s the Supernatural season finale tonight, you guys. NONE OF YOU WATCH IT. PROBABLY. That’s okay, though, because I’m just going to talk about it and pretend like everybody here loves it and wants to have a bazillion Winchester babies, just like me. And, like me, you’d want to have like ten babies with Dean and like three with...

memory munchies
When it’s late at night and I should be asleep, I tend to overdose on nostalgia. It’s kind of bad. You may have noticed a pretty obvious trend. I don’t even know what happens. It’s it’s 1 a.m. and all of a sudden all I’m 13 again and I’m sitting on my living room floor eating an Otto Pop and drinking a Crystal Pepsi while my parents are arguing about Bill...

CATHERINE KEENER’S AT MY HOUSE?
by Anaïs and Shoshana Escobar
I’m sitting in Panera Bread and I just ate a huge turkey sandwich. It was way too big and I ate it anyway. I should really eat breakfast more often. I ate the whole thing because I can’t write. For days, I’ve had coffee and…

TOO INSIDERY?
by Sarah Malone When Being John Malkovich was fresh from the New York Film Festival, if you worked in advertising and promotions you were almost certain to have it presented to you by a client for inspiration, dubbed to VHS or 3/4” tape as a graveyard shift favor. You would…
Sarah kicks off Charlie Kaufman Week with an awesome essay on Being John Malkovich. Go read!

“‘Tall girls fetch more cattle because their daughters will quickly grow...”
– I’m probably too old now to command any cattle in Sudan, but at 12 years of age I could have probably gotten about 75-80. Maybe 90! I’m very thankful that I don’t know that actual number.
