People call this NaBloPoMo. And while NaNoWriMo is an annual November event only, NaBloPoMo is really pretty much any month you feel like trying it.

The first three days of the month have gone smoothly. Today was a little tricky because it’s my b-day, but I still made a sliver of time to put together this post.

(I am not doing all my posts on one blog–I will be spreading the love to the various blogs to which I contribute on Identity Theory as well.)

The conclusion? “With content ranging from John Cusack’s views of torture to a wickedly satirical short story about a marketing consultant, IT defies demographic niches, and proves that you can do serious reading on a screen.”

This week’s issue features:

* an interview with author Tom Grimes, who, in addition to literary matters, puts forth the idea that America has “for years” been a fascist country, and claims that Kanye’s famous “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” outburst really only applies to poor black people.

* a piece of fiction written in a sort of chat-room + email format.

* a review of the Calamari Press reissue of Gary Lutz’s (very awesome) Stories in the Worst Way

* an essay on “empathy marketing”

Publishing multiple articles at once helps me appreciate the range of quality content being put forth by our contributors and editorial teams.

Speaking of which, we are looking for a new fiction reader.
