Today's Blog Orgy Tour stop drops me at Colin McKay Miller's blog. I'm damn happy to be a part of his noble legacy. Click to read all about my fears of parenthood infringing on my god-given rights to waste time at a computer screen.

@ This Blog Will Change Your Life, kindness aficionado and author extraordinaire, Ben Tanzer notes his excitement about Charactered Pieces. I'm excited too for his book Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine, which should be in the mail right now. People have good things to say. And I believe people.

@ Oxyfication.net, each Charactered Pieces story is being discussed. I plan to offer the printed and bound discussions in the future to use as a giveaway. Join the conversation here.

The response to my free lit journal back issue offer has been beautiful. Thank you to all who have ordered a copy of Charactered Pieces, and thank you more for giving homes to those back issues sitting on my shelf.

Originally, I intended to offer free back issues through the end of the year. But, because I have so many back issues and because I am in the middle of the Blog Orgy Tour, I figured, I might as well extend the offer through the duration of the tour. So, until January 16th, every...

Lists are all the rage for some reason. Some say the end of the year and/or decade has something to do with it. I blame scare tactics perpetrated by a pencil, paper, and bullet point-funded media. Today, I provide a few lists, my top five books, blogs, and cigars of oh9, over at Chris Deal's blog. Note, these are items that I discovered in 2009; they are were not necessarily published, started, rolled in 2009.

Writers enjoy solitude, sure. But even a cat has to sniff around in a different bag every once-in-a-while. Terrible metaphor aside, stop #9 on the Blog Orgy Tour is at Richard Thomas's What Does Not Kill Me blog, where I discuss what a writer's physical setting can do for his work.

Today, the wind takes me to xTx's blog, Nothing to Say, where I say precisely that. Except I use words to do so.

The post is a play on the title of xTx's chapbook, Nobody Trusts a Black Magician, which I suggest you read. After you read my guest post, of course. And, of course (x2), after you read my chapbook, Charactered Pieces: stories.

See the rest of my stops and dates at the Blog Orgy Tour page. And definitely spread the word of my many virtual miles. If you ask nice, I might just do a...

Now, through the end of the year, every order of the print version of Charactered Pieces will include a free back issue of a literary journal (orders direct from the publisher only; no Amazon.com orders for this deal). I'll even let you pick which one you'd like (just put the title in the COMMENTS section of the PayPal checkout). The list is below (it's a long one; study it carefully). Contact me if you want to know the content of a specific issue.

Keep in mind that the cover price for most...

Today, I stop at the lovely Simon West-Bulford's blog to talk about the importance of reading outside your comfort zone. Click here to take in the genius ("genius" is German for "post," right?). Also, you may have to manually search the site for this post (there is no permalink available).

And please, spread the love via Twitter, Facebook, or by any other means. Spread the love like a herpes outbreak.

Jason at What to Wear During an Orange Alert was kind enough to have me splash my opinions all over his Friday Watch List column. Groupies beware: the rockstar you've come to love might have some tastes that will force you to reevaluate your infatuation with me. And if this list doesn't do it, my b.o probably will.
