Thrilled that I made it to the big table this year after making my debut last year. My flash "Coffee Talk with Mr. Ackshually" will pop up on June 13 at 2:10 am BST (thankfully, 9:10 pm on June 12 for this East Coast 'Murican).
Congrats!
Now I want to buy a jar of Prego so I can just repeat over and over into the mic: "Why not make your own sauce? It's better than this and not that hard."
For those scoring at home, I wrote this micro in Beth’s writer boot camp class at the Writer’s Center. It’s the best.
I’ve got a few more up my sleeve.
I'm in a groove.
That's just his stylus.
Happy to see this micro memoir go up on Five Minutes today.

I’m happy to have this micro creative nonfiction piece crack the lineup of the new issue of Club Plum. clubplumliteraryjournal.com/jim-parisi/

I just said the same thing to my wife.
We won, man. We won. You wouldn’t understand because you weren’t there, man.
Congrats, Will!
Little known fact: that was the original title of that Squeeze song. “in the hospital, I’m back in my room/With a brand new stent in my heart”
Except … except! If you and your spouse straddle the generation line and you get to call her a boomer even though she is only 18 months older. Not to get too specific.
I like it. Incredible might be hyperbolic.
I've got a flash story up today (in pink ink) in Pink Ochre, another stunning-looking new literary magazine. pinkochre.wixsite.com/pink-ochre-m...
Hey, there’s already a zine. (Tsk tsk for not self-promoting.)
I read that in Mogan Freeman voice
Not sure I ever heard it before just now, but I think you might be right.
I'm still stuck in the part of the movie when the Sara McLachlan song is playing over the guy staring wistfully out the window, wondering if it was all a bad dream and her car is going to pull up in the driveway.
