I write what I want to read, and what I want to read is detailed town meeting minutes and creepy crematorium cults. | www.jrhandfield.com

My only contribution to today's Taylor Swift discourse is that it's a great day to read my story about an alternate universe Taylor Swift who runs Wyomissing like a dictator. It also has zero references to Travis Kelce's genitals.

Last night, an adaptation of my piece "Break the Grass Ceiling" was performed as part of a writing showcase. It's about the first Sasquatch elected to Congress. drive.proton.me/urls/VVZGCRG...

I AM SO PSYCHED TO BE IN THE DAILY DRUNK AGAIN! This is one that I've had bouncing around for a while and The Daily Drunk is really the perfect home for it.

I have a piece up as part of the Blackstone Valley Heritage Center / Worcester Writers Collective this week. The story will be on the trail later this week, but we held a storytelling kickoff yesterday and it was awesome! tinyurl.com/wwchandfield

A room of approx. 30 people watch as someone at a podium introduces the Blackstone Storywalks project on a projection screen.

PDF of a sign that will end up on the Blackstone Valley bike path. The sign has a QR code that brings you to https://tinyurl.com/wwchandfield - the text is as follows:

"A pity? Far from it!"

One can picture Emma Goldman, small in stature with a zeal for revolution, offering such an excited reply.

"The steel workers have suffered under Frick and Carnegie for far too long! This is long overdue!"

followed by the title, "For Emma, Forever Ago: or Emma Goldman, Shortly Upon Opening Her Ice Cream Parlour on an Afternoon in May of 1892, Converses With a Gentleman Reading the Day's Newspaper," by J.R. Handfield

Been quiet over here since I'm trying hard to, like, finish another novel and query the one I've done. 1) Got my @tacobellquarterly.org submission in this morning. 4th time's a charm? 2) I have a piece going up in a public place next week, which is super cool. It's about Emma Goldman.

VOLCANO GIRLS: Teenage girls are turning into literal volcanoes, spewing magma in perpetuity. A journalist (and witness to 1st event) sets out to interview key individuals and connect the dots across a fractured society; oral history-style. Comps in next skeet. #2025pit

okay here's the thing, if you're an artist, a writer, any kind of creator: we all need to get A LOT weirder now, to fill the gap of weird Lynch has left behind. are you with me on this

Anakin and Padme meme, with Anakin labeled as Brain and Padme labeled as writer, for the sake of the joke and definitely not a reflection of their characters

Brain: I have new ideas.

Writer, smiling: For the current work in progress, right?

Brain: silent

Writer, not smiling: For the current work in progress. Right?
