“I always joke that the show got its name because I put as little thought as you could into what to call it. It was as literal as it gets. That was the beginning. And I haven’t stopped for 15 years.”

@davidulin.bsky.social@davidulin.bsky.socialCouldn't be happier to see this news.
@davidulin.bsky.socialFor the first time since a Friday afternoon in 2021 I can say that I am for this moment completely caught up, a state of being that will end when next I check an inbox but for the moment I am taking it as a win.
@davidulin.bsky.socialIt's as if I'm in the Beatles.
@davidulin.bsky.social“We are always self-narrating. We are always trying to make the pieces add up.”
@davidulin.bsky.socialI want to start by pondering attention.
@davidulin.bsky.socialVery much looking forward to this event at Chevalier's Books on October 22.
@davidulin.bsky.social"Brevity allows for a lot of movement and leeway, innovation and experimentation. One of the things that’s most resonant to me about flash is that it can blur genre lines and classifications. It’s a place where genres come together and overlap."
@hillnadell.bsky.socialReposted by @davidulin.bsky.socialOur first look at AMERICAN FLASH FICTION, edited by @davidulin.bsky.social!
Coming soon from @libraryofamerica.bsky.social, this anthology collects very short stories from 100 literary luminaries.

@davidulin.bsky.socialOne of the greatest.
@davidulin.bsky.socialFifteen years ago, on the tenth anniversary of the towers' fall, I published this essay about New York and Los Angeles, and my relationship with both of them. Feels apropos to reshare it today.
@davidulin.bsky.socialWhat are you doing on Wednesday, September 23? Why, coming to Skylight Books, of course, for the launch of American Flash Fiction. I'll be in conversation with Ivy Pochoda.
@davidulin.bsky.socialThe most disturbing thing about the proposed $5000 bribe for votes is not that it's illegal nor that it comes from the Huey Long playbook; I can't imagine DJT has any idea who the Kingfish was. It's that he acts as if 5k is a vast sum of money when in his economy it's worth less and less every day.
@davidulin.bsky.socialFinished books are in the house.
@davidulin.bsky.socialHappy birthday.
@davidulin.bsky.socialI had such trouble with it for so long and then one day it just opened up for me.
@aohnsman.bsky.socialReposted by @davidulin.bsky.socialUnlike Apple & Google @apstylebook.com is clear on what to call a certain Great Lake:
"Lake Ontario has carried that name for more than 400 years. Refer to it by its original name. If it is relevant to the story, acknowledge and explain the name Trump has chosen."
