blogolalia, Science Fiction, the subway test

Six months after deleting my Facebook and Instagram accounts, I’ve come back to rehabilitate my blog, The Subway Test. I’ve missed writing it.

The author in the process of failing the subway test.

Without the gargantuan cave of Facebook to amplify my voice, I don’t know how many people will see my writing here. But it helps me to write here nonetheless.

Coming soon, I’ll reprint one of my favorite early stories in honor of its 10th anniversary. Keep watching the skies…

A Modest Reboot

anonymity, marketing, that strumpet Fame

I had dinner with a friend a couple of weeks ago who mentioned how much she likes the blog posts I send her way. But, she said, she wasn’t sure who was the author of these posts. That was when I realized that perhaps I’ve been overly anonymous on this blog.

So, at last, the picture on the avatar is me (I was a methane molecule for Halloween last year). My name is on the title. To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable with my name in little lights like that. But I suppose it’s fair, if I want people to read my work, to let people know who I am.

A Place for my Stuff!

George Carlin

There are many reasons I make a bad blogger. For one, I write slowly, and much of what I write is tough to read until it’s been revised and revised again, put through the rock tumbler of my brain for days or weeks or months. Also, I’m wary about taking on a writing project that might suck away precious time that I could be working on stories, poems, songs–basically writing that isn’t blogolalia.

But I’ve set up this site anyway because a few people have asked me where they can find my writing. So, here it is: The Subway Test. This is, as George Carlin so wisely put it, a place for my stuff.

Welcome to The Subway Test. I hope (and predict) it will remain a small-batch site for my friends and family. But if a stranger comes here, curious about a story I’ve written and hoping to find another, I consider you my friend, too.
