Paris Journals #1

It started as any revelation might start just another day, nothing really and creation just isn’t stated that way Often drinking wine does the trick and miracles might happen like nothing like natural traps of the imagination Walking on water, dancing on smoke farting illusions of better places making bubbles in your glass of red wine … (from “Vacuum Dance,” Beer Songs for the [...]

Paris Journal Intro

Francois — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:29:08 +0000

In 1998, I bought a Claire Fontaine 17 x 22 cm 40 sheet notebook to take with me to Spain, so that I could keep a journal, and not have a cumbersome pad or computer to carry around. I wanted something I could slip inside a hand bag and carry with me anywhere I went. [...]

November 16th, 2009. Newsletter: Doing Friday on Mondays!

Francois — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:22:53 +0000

It’s been a fun last few week! I’ll make this short and sweet. First thing: NEUROTICA, by Elva Maxine Beach, the second book published by New Belleville Press, is now available on Amazon.com. This was a difficult decision for me. It probably seems like a no-brainer to most people. However, it wasn’t for me. After a meeting [...]

Tomorrow evening is an exciting time for me. Kind of crazy. I’ve been so busy I’ve had no time to get ready for it, nor any to think about it too much if at all. Tomorrow night from 6 till 7pm I will be hosting Writing on the Air on KOOP.org radio 91.7. After several months [...]

October 11 Newsletter — SALA meeting notes & other news

Francois — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:16:14 +0000

SALA writers’ group … the Notes! On Tuesday evening, October 6th, Denny, Lester, Murray, and myself, Francois, met at Spider House to talk about SALA’s Writers’ group. It’s become evident that many people on the “list” of this group are either not interested, or do not have the time to dedicate to SALA. There is however, a [...]

New Belleville Newsletter August 31th on Monday for once even though not two weeks ago I called this newsletter: Doing Thursday on Friday.

Francois — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:49:24 +0000

Guess I’m just irregular. That’s my nature, stick me with a schedule, and I screw it up. It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve published something here, and it’s definitely not that I have nothing to say, it’s just because I’ve been so darn busy. For one, school is back in session. Nope, I’m not in [...]

Doing Thursday on Friday, New Belleville Newsletter August 13th, 2009

Francois — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:35:30 +0000

Slow week here in my world. Car keeps breaking down. And always in the worst possible place. This last time was on the Upper Deck of I35, where, to the utmost frustration of every other driver on that monstrosity they call a road, my car slowed down to a mere 50 miles an hour … [...]

Thursday 6 August Newsletter

Francois — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:32:29 +0000

Well, it’s been one of those weeks. I’m one day late on this newsletter — and I’ll ad all the hyperlinks later today, I just want to get this out — It’s like doing Thursday on a Friday, it doesn’t quite fit. I’ve got a short story that’s coming along slowly but surely, so I’m [...]

Francois — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:49:37 +0000

Last night on KOOP radio 91.7 FM Writing on the Air was plenty of fun. I was on, reading from my book Beer Songs for the Lonely published by New Belleville Press. Lee K. Davis & Dr. Dora Robinson interviewed me. Dillon McKinsey chipped in while working the board, and brought quite a few very [...]
